Hey, interesting. I have the same score and also am thinking to apply for Bekerley part time....
I studied long time ago when I was in the bench earlier this year (I m in consulting). I was ready to take it in March but was called to an urgency assignment on my test day. slept on that for 6 months. Finally, i just took it last week!
Anyway, I studied intensively with Princeton Review in Feb. (Highly recommended princeton! ) I m kinda slow in math and I really used its techniques such as backsolving, ballparking for a few questions. In verbal, i m always ok in reading and reasoning but slow on sentence corrections. I looked for common traps that Princeton mentioned in the test and I think i did ok.
In march, I scored around 650 in Princeton tests.
I also did one or 2 kaplan and got a low-600. ( 610?, i forgot)
I did some 800score and scored around 670 or so.
Then, i was swamped with projects. I didnt study at all for the next 6 months until 3 days b4 the test. I went thought the
OG's SC and the math concepts in the final 2 days. Did one PP test the night b4 the test day and scored 690.
The test day I got lost to find the test center. finally 5 mins b4 the time I got there.
680 (47q, v37). and I dont know what the heck i was talking about in AWA.
I didnt have hi-expectation during the whole process - from preparing to taking the test. I m gonna apply for part time programs and normally they are 10-20 pts below their full time counter-parts.
I guess 680 should be just enough ( not sure about Bekerley)
I m worried more about the housing in Bekerley - too expensive than the gmat score and I may not apply for it after all. Hate to move my whole family there...
Most likely I will stay in Texas for UT or Rice..
I guess 680 is not a really an exciting score but should be able to getby into UT-austin.. will see.
Thz for everyone's input in this forum here.
