hi,
I took GMAT yesterday after 2-3 months of intensive preparation. Got a score of 640 - Q 49 V28
My practice test scores
MGMAT 1 - 640 Q 41 V 36 (without preparation)
MGMAT 2 - 600 Q 41 V 32 (horribly missed timings. last 5-6 questions guesses in both verbal and quant)
MGMAT 3 - 660 Q45 V35
GMAT prep1 - 660 Q48 V34
After getting Q48, i bought
GMAT club tests and went like a madman taking 7 tests and analysing all the wrong choices and i could see the change in my second gmatprep.
Gmat prep 2 - 690 Q50 V32
Final GMAT: 640 Q 49 V28
Finished Quant well ahead of 3 minutes, which is a record for me .
I found verbal too easy from beginning. Finished it before 5 minutes. Didn't rush up anywhere. i got first RC after 10th question.
I really find my verbal score puzzling.
In both gmat prep tests, i had continuous string of 3-4 wrong answers. May be i got 4-5 consecutive answers wrong and the pattern got repeated.
I simply couldn't find a reason why i scored 28 in verbal.
My quant score was well within my range but i am very much puzzled about my verbal score.
I never scored less than 32 in any of the practice tests.
I also took
e-gmat course for verbal.
OG accuracy:
SC accuracy: 84% ( hard questions 81%)
CR accuracy: 84% ( hard questions: 77%)
RC accuracy: 71% on both medium and hard questions.
if i have to take gmat, i have to take it within 45 days since i am planning to apply in R1 for below colleges
1) Katz - 1 yr mba -
2) Purdue - 1 yr mba
My questions:
1) Is it possible for me to get admit into both the mentioned colleges with my gmat score and profile
( profile: Engineering from top 15 college in India
Total Exp: 7.5 years currently with Analyst with Bank of America for 4.5 yrs - IT + finance
before that , worked with Infosys for 3 years )
2) should i go ahead and take GMAT .
Please advise.
