Hi all!
I am relatively new to this forum and yet my exam is scheduled in January. I know that it sounds crazy but I am going for the exam with a 1 month
preparation...please please help me with the following!!
1) A stupid question: I just did the 2 gmat club free tests and got 84% / V37 93% / Q49....but how do i calculate my score ( I am refering to the one that ranges from 500-700?)...this is my first test and i just need an idea on how im doing...are these free tests generally easier than the real ones too??
2）I was rushing the Verbal section of the free gmat verbal test and completed it in 67 mins.....any idea how to better spread out my time?
3) A brief intro here:
--23yrs old female, cbc, graduated from a business school in 2010,major marketing &accounting (do not like accounting at all though), GPA 3.2. considering mba programs in Ontario/BC/Alberta
--working at a bank as an account manager for 2 yrs
(feel more like a salesperson sometimes though the bank emphasizes tht it is our "professional knowledge" and advices tht people draw on...and tht's the biggest thing that I don't like about my current job at the bank, I feel like a salesperson more than anything !!!
)
--worked as an accountant for 5 mths as an intern, was offered a permanent position too but didn't like it so much and so I applied for the above bank position
honestly, I do not know which field to specialize in/which school to go for...of coz I realized that im not in an excellent position as a MBA candidate given my limited work experience and my low GPA (should have studied harder while in school huh....
). and one of the reasons that I am rushed to take the gmat in a mth was that I ran into an ivey alumni last month and he strongly recommended me to apply for the Ivey.
I wasn't considering the Ivey before and so I planned to take the gmat in March as most of the other schools have their deadlines in April-May. Now im rushed and unprepared...feeling that I might have made a really wrong decision....how do you think??
any suggestions will be very much appreciated

Let me address one immediate question right away - your GMAT results. That's pretty good!
You can calculate your scores here: gmat-scores-83890.html
V37 and Q49 are about 700 - that's pretty good taking into consideration that a Q49 on GMAT Club tests is hard to come by.

As BB said, it doesn't appear you have anything to worry about WRT the GMAT. Good luck in January!
I would try not to rush the verbal, but more importantly try not to rush the applications. It sounds like you have the bare minimum work experience required to get into a reputable program; however, while you may get in, there are advantages to applying early. For instance, it is very likely that with a strong GMAT you can get a significant financial aid merit package. If you apply in the later rounds, the scholarship monies are often completely awarded which means there will be none left for you. Also, once you have your GMAT score you can determine which schools to apply to and hence, which application essays you will have to write.
Taken together (i.e. 2 years work experience, potentially rushed GMAT and essays, and last call application rounds--resulting in little to no scholarship $$) it may behoove you to consider waiting to apply to Fall 2014 in round 1. This way you'll have a stronger application and less debt to pay off later. If however, debt is no concern, you are content with a program that may be below your actual potential, and you want to get out of your current job ASAP, then applying now for Fall '13 matriculation is a logical choice.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
