I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science with 5 years work experience. I have a 3.4 GPA in my masters program. What kind of score is a good score for me in the GMAT (I understand the higher the better)...but I just want to get a ballpark number based on past experiences. I am trying to get into a Fully Employed MBA.

Dear sbgmat,

I don't know as you did not provide enough information. Your masters GPA is important but your undergraduate GPA is equally important. Likewise, your professional work experience, extracurriculars, rationale for an MBA and career goals are all equally important to GMAT and GPA. So, the only answer I can really give you is you want the highest GMAT score you can possibly get. One that starts with a 7 is best and one that starts with a 6 is going to generally be competitive.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
