Hi,
One question to all that took the GMAT more than once. Why did you take it in the first place if you were nor OK with the results from the practice sessions. There is no point in just taking official GMAT test before you are in your target score range (30 points the most). So... can somebody explain the reason behind? My first try on a mock test was 610. Totally disappointed, but nobody (apart from me) could see this. Another two months of work, took another simulation and scored 650. Still no good. Another two months of work and scored constantly above 700, which was my target score. So... final day came... sat there and scored 740. But I was so confident that I will score above 700, so that I just gave it the best, without any fear.
Cheers,
Adrian
Hi Adrian.
This is a "reconcile the discrepancy" question.
The option that would be the answer might say something like this: THOSE GUYS ACTUALLY USED THE GMAT EXAM AS THEIR PREPARATORY CATS! or FOR THESE GUYS, THE NUMEROUS GMAT EXAM SERVED THE PURPOSE VARIOUS PREP CATS WILL SERVE FOR ADAN WITHOUT WITHOUT OFFERING THEM ANY ECONOMIC MARGIN HAD THEY USED THE CATS.
or even still.
THE GMAT EXAM PROVIDED FOR THOSE GUYS A BETTER REALITY CHECK FOR THE EXAM THAN THAT WHICH ANY CAT WOULD PROVIDE.
finally
THE NUMBER OF GMATs YOU TAKE DOES NOT COUNT IN YOUR APPLICATION, RATHER YOUR HIGHEST SCORE DOES.
Adrian all of the above can be used as the CORRECT answer to that discrepancy question you threw at us.
Uhhmm, me I wouldnt prep to take GMAT twice.
Ar you sure that "THE NUMBER OF GMATs YOU TAKE DOES NOT COUNT IN YOUR APPLICATION, RATHER YOUR HIGHEST SCORE DOES." A school will see ALL your GMAT results for the past five years. Can you take the chance for your dream school to see that you sat the exam three times and scored low on first two attempts? Yes, this shows determination... but it is still better to sit it only once and get your target score. In my view.
