Hello GMAT community,
I started to prepare myself for the GMAT in march, I took a 1 on 1 preparation class here in Bangkok and worked through the official GMAT book 3 times, I covered every part and every question. Today I had my first GMAT appointment and scored a total of 460 points, in detail:
Quantitative: 28 scaled score (Percentile 22)
Verbal: 26 scaled score (Percentile 40)
Total: 460 scaled score (Percentile 24)
My feeling regarding the AWA is pretty good, but I don't think that it will effect my overall total score a lot. I'm kind of disappointed, although I did three GMAT prep tests with the official software and scored 470 points. Right now I feel that I could not have done it any better. But I think that is quite normal, or?
Regarding my personal goal, I just see the GMAT as a bonus for my normal application. I am still in my undergraduate studies and I will graduate in summer 2011. I want to apply for a "normal" master studies, not a MBA, since I don't have any postgraduate working experience. My first language is german.
From your experiences, what do you guys advise me to do? When should I retake the GMAT? Do you even advise me to do so? When should I do it?
Thank you for your help

Welcome to GMAT Club Sambosoul!
I am not sure. If you don't need to submit gmat score with your app, I would not bother/worry about it. On the other hand, it depends on the score you are looking for. If it is 700+ that's a major undertaking but if you are looking for 600, then maybe it is 2 month with MGMAT Guides.

Dear BB,
Thank you very much for your help! I plan to take a 6 month break after my graduation in summer 2011, do you think it is a good idea to wait such a long time for the retake? I want to focus entirely on my final exams the next semester, and I think I will have enough time to prepare myself during this break. =)
