Took GMAT today and score a 700 (Q48 V37). I think all that I want to say has been said before but want to keep it short and provide a few pointers. Math Averaged 49-50 but given pressure of the test I would take the 48. 1. GMAT CLUB Tests are the best for practice other than Offical Guides. Test Right Percentile m01 32 87% m02 34 94% m03 25 49% m04 32 87% m05 31 89% m06 29 82% m07 31 83% m08 1 10% m09 32 91% m10 33 93% m11 33 91% m12 31 86% m13 32 89% m14 31 87% m15 32 88% m16 30 82% m17 32 84% m18 34 93% m19 35 94% m20 37 96% m21 33 90% m22 31 72% m23 34 88% m24 34 92% m25 33 93% 2. GMATFocus: Excellend practice if you have the money to spend. I think the actual test is harder than the GMAT Prep. The questions in Focus are more representative of what you would expect in the test. Verbal Very disappointed with the score 1. I used a lot of sources that were not representative of the actual tests. Would advise not doing any LSAT questions unless you really master all the OG, GMAT Prep. 2. I think GMATClub tests need improvement in this area. The tests were not a good representation. 3. For me CR was the issue and regret not using CR Bible as I heard they are the best resource. 4. Read the forums carefully because they can mislead and confuse at times. I always sought insight from the experts (Ron, Walker, Ian, GMATTiger and some others). Thank you all for the help. General 1. Make sure you exhuast every possible hard question (5-6 times each is not a stretch) on GMAT Prep software. I saw at least 2 repeats and seeing questions I had seen before was very reassuring. 2. I have always been a poor test taker. I averaged 750 range in most GMAT questions so it is important to work on test taking skills. I assumed if I knew all the content I would do well but was not the case. Would recommend reading through better strategy guides than this one. 3. Finally want to get some opinion if it is worth retaking. How does adcom look at repeating tests once one has 700+. I have gotten mixed reactions and want to end the debate once and for all. Happy to answer specific questions if you have any.

Congratulations,
You at least made 700. All my dream schools, I think, require above 700, and my test is in two days.
And I am not feeling that I am in that bracket yet, though, I studied almost for two months by purchasing all Manhattan GMAT books...

Good luck with the test. I think 2 days before the test you should only focus on your weak areas. The 2-3 extra questions you get right go in big to get a high score esp when you get into the 700 range.

Today, just came from the test centre.
Got disappointing 610 (Q44, V33)
I knew I may not score above 700, but never thought, I will get that low score.
But I am not giving up, will try this winter, and hopefully will be able to get my desired score...

Hey Sher676, what did you eventually decide, did you re-take or end up sticking to your GMAT score?
