510 to 610 to 680! [#permalink] New post   15 Dec 2005, 12:24
I took the GMAT for the second time today. 680 (Q47,V36)

My quest for a good score started in Sept. when I took the powerprep test without any preparation and scored a 510 :(
Nov. 28 I took the GMAT for the first time and scored a 610 (Q42, V32). I had a tough time with the analysis of an issue essay which set a negative tone for the rest of my test. What I think really hurt my score was my attitude going into the test. You must think positive and keep a clear head or the test will win! The last two weeks I wrote an analysis of an issue essay every morning and concentrated on SC.

Today I went into the test with a positive attitude and didn't let the test get to me. BTW I never scored this high on any of my practice tests. Today was my day :)

510 to 610 to 680.

I take these numbers as a numerical progression where
A(1) = 510, A(n) = A(n-1) + (160 - 30n).

Obviously, A(4) = 720.

:-D

Keep it up and believe you can!

Congratulations :)

I really appreciate your determination & improvement! Probably, you can think of trying one more time, unless you are targetting schools for which 680 is good enough!

I know 700 is within my reach but my deadlines are approaching fast so I can't take it again. I didn't post much but learned a lot from reading the threads here. This site is great.

Thanks everyone!

What helped my quant score was the gmat sets from score top. None of the questions were on my test but the exposure to difficult problems written by ETS really helped me out. I think the OG is essential but the level of difficulty isn't accurate of the exam.
