There is hope for the 'older' student

by kbnaperville » Tue May 31, 2011 4:24 pm
I am returning to Graduate School twenty years later than most of you. My GMAT is long expired and changing my test taking skills to accommodate the CAT has been a real obstacle for my success. BTG has been a great asset as it connects me to other test takers and I can explore all the test preparation companies to find the best fit.

I can no longer buzz thru the test answering all the easier question first then return to complete the tougher questions. In the past, there was no intelligence to place me in a range, everyone had the exact same test. I have only begun to buckle down and focus on test preparation for the first time in my life but I am happy to report with the help of online classes and trials I have increased my score by 100 in two weeks. Now to get to that all-important 720!

Welcome to Beat the GMAT.

All the best for your preps.

I request you to post the queries in the right forum though. :-)
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)
