Math problem.

by holymoly » Sun Nov 13, 2011 6:08 pm
Hi,

I am new to this GMAT thing, and I havent study so well, but I decided to take the test in a few days.

I am very self-confident on the verbal and other stuff but for the math side Im pretty sure I will fail that one... so can anyone tell me should I go ahead and do the test, while the failing part of maths will not significantly decrease my score, if I make the other part mostly correct.

I hope you will understand my issue here.

Thanks.

If I understand your issue your question is whether your verbal scores, of which you are confident, will compensate for your math score. In general the answer is no - you need to do well on both parts of the test to get a great score on the GMAT, although your verbal score can help to increase your overall score if it is very strong.

The best thing to do would be to take a practice exam. You can take one from The Princeton Review here https://www.princetonreview.com/business ... -test.aspx or you can take the free test from the GMAT. both will accurately tell you how you are currently doing on the exam.
