First Time Poster/Took GMAT Prep Test #1 [#permalink] New post   19 Jan 2007, 07:15
Everyone,
First want to say hi as this is my first post, and will be one of many.

Though I will be unable to begin serious GMAT studying for another few months I decided to take the GMAT Prep Test #1 to find out where I sit currently.

That said, I scored at 45 Q 40 V, for a total of 690.

Having scored that with no studying, I am curious as to what you all think I can get if I study for two months. I understand this is general, but what you think is possible? (My brother got a 730 and I'd like to beat that)

Hi dr908,

Welcome to GMATClub ! :)

Your score without any studies is pretty impressive :)... I would say that u could cross the 750. Your verbal is already very high.

If you arrive to push your Q score to 48+ and increase your verbal by being more familiar to the GMAT, it would be really possible :)

Meanwhile, how much do u need?

I had a 690 on an "unprepared" test as well; 1.5 months of study pushed me to 760. And I still believe I could score better :)

However, don't just relax - by saying "1.5 month of study" I mean 1.5 month of STUDY, not just dorking around and thinking "OK, I'll kill the GMAT so soon". If you don't put in a serious effort, you'll score 690 - minus the anxiety of real test, minus any minor problem that makes you distracted, minus whatever else.

Impressive, but you shouldn't get impressed by this score.

Study like you got a mid 500 from your test, also take practice CATs regularly. You will see that the score will vary a lot, get used to it. There is a huge factor of luck in GMAT.

Sounds like you can do a very high score, just do not lose the hang of it!

Thanks everyone [#permalink] New post   22 Jan 2007, 09:06
For the support and counsel.

Though happy with the initial score, I agree it means nothing, unless I turn it into something.

As soon as I am done with a couple other things, i will get to it. Probably starting around July, and then read quite a bit about the different test studying strategies. And get to it.

Look forward to the continued discussions.
