GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Ok, I took the GMAT again today. I was hoping to get 51 on quant since I even got 51 from MGMAT CATs. My verbal was the same as last time I took the exam. I was a little disappointed. The first half of verbal went fine. But I think I did spent too much time on it. I am a slow reader. Unfortunately, I got two passages that is nearly over 100 lines long with five paragraphs and five questions to each. When I looked at the clock and find myself have about 27 minutes left to deal with 20 questions. I started panicing. Technically, I can still give it another try or two since my last score was erased from the record. Please refer to my previous post.

But personally, I don't know. I feel tired have to study for it all over again. My GMAT prep practice scores are :
GMAT Prep 1 760 ( 50Q 44V)
GMAT prep 2 720 ( 50Q 38V)
Power Prep 1 770 ( 50Q 45V)
Power Prep 2 700 (49Q 35V)
MGMAT CAT 3 710 (47Q 40V)
MGMAT CAT 4 690 (49Q 35V)
MGMAT CAT 5 720 (49Q 39V)
MGMAT CAT 6 720 (51Q 37V)
So, I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions?
A little bit about my background. I am female Chinese American. Currently I am in the IT industry working at a manufacturing company as database administrator. I have about 6 years of work experience. I am thinking about switch my career though. I am interested in Healthcare Management. My undergrad GPA was great. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude though not from prestigious school. I had some leadership experience in college as well. I was the president of Traditional Chinese Vocal Ensemble as well as the treasurer of the French National Honor Society. My extracurricula activities include volunteer at the Children's Hospital. I play piano and violin. I have won first place piano ensemble for adult hobbiest division and I am a district member of the National Piano Guild. I had perform with orchestra at music festivals. My target schools are Boston University, Vanderbilt University, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Berkeley Haas (I know this is going to be hard), and Rice University. Do you think I have a chance at those schools if I do not re-take the GMAT?

You should have a pretty good shot at all of the schools on your list other than Haas. UNC might be difficult, but given your academic background, you should have a reasonable shot at it. But given your practice results, it might be worthwhile to take it again and shoot for some of the better schools.

Eileen,
For me, I had the same experience about the verbal part. I consistently scored around 37-40 on MGMAT and around 33-37 on GMATprep, but I only got 32 on the real thing. You are like me in a way that I am a slow reader and so I always end up guessing 5-7 questions on the verbal part. I feel that MGMAT use different scoring method. In MGMAT, if you are able to get most of the harder questions, you will get high score, but I feel that this isn't the case for real GMAT.
For Math, 50 and 51 is not much different. I took the test twice and scored 51 on the first, 50 on the second. To me, the only difference is 1-2 question. You shouldn't feel bad about Q50. If someone were to get 51 all the time, it is quite amazing. I do feel though that with your math score, 51 is possible next time around.
I think you should take it again if timing permits. I am planning to take it again after I complete my application. If it is better, I'll send the score in, if not, I won't. Maybe you can use the same strategy.
