520 - Need to improve by 50 more! [#permalink] New post   15 Apr 2011, 11:45
Hey guys,

This is my first post and I have taken a look at several areas of the website - so many resources I wish I had the first time I took the GMAT. I took the Princeton Review classes and improved dramatically as my first practice test was 410 (real GMAT 520). I got a 35M and 26V and I think I can do better. My dilemma is time sensitive since I would like to enroll into a program into the Fall and most of the deadlines are coming up. My first GMAT will have to suffice for the first deadline but I'd like to take the GMAT as quickly as possible so I could re-submit a better score that to the school.

My question is, do you think that 1 month is enough time to improve my score by +50 points? My main weakness is CR and RC and I know I can improve on my strength as well. I guess I could enroll in the Spring and I know that given more time to study would help. So, given your experience on your tests, what would be the ideal situation for me?

Your replies are much appreciated - thank you!

Hey,
What do you think about signing up at Knewton?
I scored 590 in my first exam and needed to improve this score. After the Knewton course I scored 710.
If you need to increase your score by 50 points than have a look at their money-back-guarantee. They promise, that if you don't increase your score by at least 50 points, you'll get the course fee back.
And I can promise you: it's a great feeling not to pay that money back because you scored so much better ;-)

sounds good but limited on $$$ since it's the second time taking the test whilst applying to schools (application fees)...
