Improve your GMAT math

by ps2 » Mon Jun 08, 2009 11:33 pm
This will be my third and final attempt for the GMAT. I do not want to take any chances and want to be fully geared up so that I can get into one of the best B-schools. I am targeting a score of 750+. Can I achieve this?

Well, that depends on where you're starting from. If you scored a 740, getting to 750 wouldn't be a huge stretch. However, if you're starting at 300, a 750 might be a little unrealistic. Keep in mind that 750 is 98th percentile, so only 2% of test takers score 750+, and that the average at the very top schools is a tad over 700. No one NEEDS a 750.
