All said I am very happy with my score. Could I have scored higher on the Quant, sure. I have never considered myself a good standardized test taker and timing has always been an issue with me, hence I am happy with this score. I took the GMAT a little over a month ago and came in with a 650 and hence decided to take it again. I guess the message here is, if you practice enough, the odds are you can make the 700 club. I think my first princeton review CAT came in at the high 500s.

Guys,

Thanks for your wishes. Mayonnai5e - I just wanted to say that your posting helped me greatly. I too struggled with timing on the Quant section and hence the 77th percentile which I was not particularly happy with. I followed a similar strategy to yours keeping the timing benchmarks in mind and not spending too much time on any one question.

Just out of curiosity I wonder if a 77th percentile in Quant will keep will hurt my apps for any of the top programs? I have a fair amount of quantiative experience.

Thanks

I don't think so. Most universities when posed this question have replied that they look at the total score and generally don't even consider the percentiles that may vary from year to year.

Well, I am sure I got a little lucky.

All the best with your apps. The score is but just one factor. With a good score you have only one thing less to worry about.

I feel as if I am in your exact shoes....I also took it a few months back and ran into severe problems with timing in the quant section. I'm taking it again in two weeks after taking a course, so hopefully, I'll follow in your footsteps. Any thoughts on the second take? Easier? Less pressure?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
