GMAT 750 (Q51 V39) - very satisfied [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 21 Aug 2007, 02:55
Dear all
i've been checking this site many times before I took the real test on Aug 17. I've been working with many GMAT CAT software (kaplan, cambridge, barron, princeton, and powerprep) and the score varied a lot actually. I took 2 sets of powerprep 2 days before real exam to see the score and i got around 700. However, I've seen some of questions so I expected to see a little lower score in the real exam. BTW, I spent total of 16 days to prepare everything, so dont get mess up with all the books, try to relax.

On the test date, i got diarhea :(, but I had to make it anyway. I feel that questions are tougher than powerprep, but result is better. So i think it somehow depends on LUCK. I dont think I did well in AWA though, cuz English is not my native language, and I'm quite sure that my writing was poor, so if I get 4, i would be very satisfied already.

Anyway, good luck to you all
any questions regarding the test that I might be able to help, please let me know

prov

Update!! - AWA 5.0, better than expected, so I'm satisfied

Great job!
It must be the diarrhea!

P.S. Maybe we all should think about getting diarrhea on a test day to get a 750 :wink:

Great score [#permalink] New post   20 Aug 2007, 12:24
I am glad to see that Q51 V39 can still get 750. I thought it had increased to Q51 V41.

amazing score prov! I think I also spent a total of 16 days or so studying, so I know the feeling! Mental state and attitude matters a lot!

Good work and see you in the applications forum!

ok, first of all, I've to say thank you everyone
also, I really need u guys' advice about schools that i should apply for.
I got bachelor in accounting in non-english speaking country but the courses have been entirely taught in english. I current have no work experience (just started a month ago.) so i've many choices in my mind now.

1. apply for MAcc at Michigan or MPA at Texas now
2. apply for MBA in some top schools now (which I've no idea about school i could apply)
3. work first for about 3 yrs (now i'm in one of Big 4 of accounting firms - but not in US) then apply for MBA or MAcc in some top schools.

So what do youy guys think?

Additional info: GPA3.8

Also, if u need help in GMAT, especially Q part, and you think i could assist, u could always send me private message.

cheers

Go work for 3 or 4 years before applying. You wont have a real shot at a top school without good work experience. They get enough people with great academic backgrounds and GMATs that also have solid work experience that you will have a very slim chance of getting in right now, so save the 200 bucks an application.

Get involved in some outside activities and keep up with the MBA programs off and on. Right now its a very tough application period. In 3 years it may swing the other way and it might make it easier to get in...unless you are Indian or Asian at which point its only going to get tougher.

I'm actually Asian, but not Indian
Why it would become tougher to get in?
so if that's the case, do u think i should apply some schools now?
