Exam Date: 21st May, 2012. Source: MGMAT Strategy Guides, Powerscore CR/SC, OG12, OGV2, Some other stuff. Tests: Knewton, MGMAT, Kaplan. Tests Taken : Knewton Diagnostic: 570 Sectional Tests for Quants: 800 score 4 tests, GMAT Club 5 tests (making 0-7 mistakes) Target Score: Seem to have an infinite apetite for a high GMAT score. Having said that, a score of 750 and above just gives the psychological feel good.

Props to everyone taking it before the Integrated Reasoning section comes out. That's exactly what I would do if I were about to take the test.
