Hi everyone. I am seeking some feedback on my decision today.
I've been studying the GMAT since June, and took it today on Nov.10.
I am a college student, and studying has been on and off, due to other works.
What i've done, in chronological order:
1. McGraw Hill 12 test (6 on paper, 6 on cd) :
scored about mid 600s on each test. low=620 , high =670
2. GMAT paper tests (all 3 sets purchased from gmat.com, 9 total tests)
I got high of 710, low of 670. mostly 670,680,690.
3. Princeton Review book and 4 online tests.
640, 590, 580, 620.
AWA improved (using live grader) 3-->4-->5.
Note: the PR review made me less confident, since the scores were lower.
My goal is 700+, and my mindset is to take GMaT only once, because I think graduate schools look down on applicants who do retakes.
So I felt okay on the math, but felt I could do better on the verbal, since I couldn't focus as well during the verbal section (partially because I kept thinking about the option to decline score if I felt I didn't do well). It was a 4pm test.
I am finishing my undergrad in March.
What do you guys think ? I declined to report/see my score at the end because I was unsure about 5th and 8th math question, and the overall verbal section. good or bad choice?
I appreciate your inputs, thanks.
