Re: here comes the retake!! 680 Q48 V35 [#permalink]
cheers guys for your suggestions - it has been driving me nuts all day!! Spoke to two target schools and requirement is 650 with both but with LSE I need a really strong application to have a chance. Although with my degree I am on course for their grade requirement, it is from an average UK university which weakens my chances. The admissions lady did urge me to apply ASAP though as places were filling up (as expected). What I may do is apply to both schools now with my GMAT score but let them know I am retaking on 9th April.

I think while writing this I have convinced myself that I have to retake it as the score is not representative. Thanks for your input guys and the website in general - really helps!!

Now because I am coming to the end of my degree I have lots of work I will not be studying as much as I did before. I know the maths thoroughly - so will just maintain that level by doing regular tests and reading revision notes during the week. The verbal I probably will not do any work on either RC or CR as again there is not much I can do with these until close to the exam - when I will again just revise and practice. The main issue is SC, as I mentioned before I did not develop ANY SC skills despite going through twice - therefore I may buy the powerscore SC book I heard mentioned and go through slowly each book over the month period (as opposed to the crash course in a day or two) Any other advice especially about cracking SC would be great!!

Cheers
