GMATBootcamp you are absolutely right there. My preferred school is INSEAD and they look for at least 75 percentile+ for both quant and verbal, having a high overall GMAT is not enough. I would assume this is the case for a lot of the top schools.

Wow fantastic post BB. I don’t know how I missed it since it pretty much directly answers my question. As GMATBootcamp mentioned, the obvious area of attention is verbal. That should help pull my score up a fair bit. As a native English speaker I think my current verbal score is pretty abysmal haha.

There are a few things I have not yet done which include reviewing my error log and going through MGMAT SC guide (in my last MGMAT test I failed on all the 700+ SC questions). I would love to get a hold of some of the other resources mentioned such as the Powerscore books but one issue I have is that these are not available in Australia :roll:

Anyway I will post updates with my results. Thanks again.

1. There is not much difference between MGMAT SC and PowerScore SC - definitely don't need both.

2. May want to visit this thread: calling-all-australia-new-zealand-candidates-85194.html
