Finished with a 700

by gregmh48 » Wed Mar 04, 2009 6:35 pm
I just finished the GMAT with a 700. My Quantitative was 44 and my Verbal was 42. I scored a 760 on both of the GMAT Prep tests, so the 700 is slightly lower than I was expecting. The main reason for my lower score is that the quantitative questions seemed to be mostly algebra and properties of numbers. I don't remember any geometry, RTD, combinatorics, or probability problems. I'm satisfied with my score, but am considering trying again in a month or two with the hope that I get a better mix of quantitative problems.

You're right on the cusp! Keep Going! Congrats. Wish You all the best. Would like to know how did you appraoch Quant? The reason being Quant is my weakness even though I am from Comp. Sci. background.

Congratulations on that score. I don't think you should be bummed out, many of us would love to have that score!

How many DS questions did you encounter? If so, how were they?

I got my AWA score yesterday. They said it would take around 20 days, but it only took three! I got a 6 on that.
