I've read how scoring works but I took the MBA.com GMAT and I got 46 math and 30 verbal. (620) This is surprising because I always thought that my verbal was good and my math sucks.
With my 46, I missed 11. I am very very skeptical and curious I have 46. I looked at my score breakdown and I got 1-3, missed 4, 5-11, missed 12, 13-15 missed 16-22, got 23-29, missed 30, got 31-34, missed 35-37.
I asked around, people said, "I got the harder ones right and the easy ones wrong." Or something to that extent.
I've heard that MBA.com sample GMAT inflates scores. I had a buddy that got 640 on MBA.com and ended up testing 550.
I think my verbal score of 30 blows, but its understandable ... I pretty much got 90-95% of the CR/SC and missed 75-80% of the RC. My RC is bad to the extent that I think if I randomly guessed, I would have better odds at getting the question right =P
Anyway
I haven't taken my MGMAT prep course yet, it starts in May, goes til July. I studed about 1.5 hours a day and about 3 hours each weekend day. My score was 490 with the PR practice exam.
Do you feel that its realistic for someone that got a 620 according to MBA.com (so probably closer to 580 ish) - to go from 580 - 710 in 4 months? My test is in August.
I feel like my applicatin is pretty strong in other areas. I was a liberal arts (graduated magna from UC Irvine) major so is it true that if I do well on the math and crappy on the verbal bschools will think well - his quant is fine, but his verbal blows but he demonstrated verbal in undergrad?
I dunno.
