my transcript request [#permalink] New post   27 Nov 2005, 11:42
I have taken two classes at a local community college (one class during my last semester of senior year in highschool and one class during the summer after I graduated from highschool). Those two classes are transferable as apart of my current undergraduate degree. Since I transfered these two classes already to my university, do you think I would still need to get a transcript from the community college or do you think the transcript from my university be enough?

It really depends on the school. For many the fact that it appears on your regular transcript is enough. Some schools, however, request transcripts from all post-secondary coursework.

Advice [#permalink] New post   14 Dec 2005, 19:42
I am taking my gmat next Thurs, Dec 22nd. I am very nervous this time because this is my second time taking it. I've been studying for the past two months. I went over the entire OG guide already, redid all the SC questions twice, and went over all the wrong answer from other sections twice as well. I am not sure if this is enough though. The second time I went over the questions, I improved alot. and then the third time I went over them, I realized that I am starting to remember the correct answers for the questions since I have done them previously. I was just wondering, what else can I do to get more studying done before next thurs? I plan on taking a practice exam everyday starting friday until next week and probably two days before the actual test date, I will go over the concepts of the test again. Do you think I should start doing the 1000 SC/CR questions or do you think I would benefit more if I do the questions on this site? what else do you think I should do with my studies? Do you think there is a point for me to go through the LSAT materials? Like I have previously mentioned, I am only looking for a 550-600, so I am not sure how hard I have to work. but since my first time I scored a 370, I am exceptionally nervous the 2nd time around.

Work as hard as your possibly can, so that you will have no regrets.

What went wrong during your first test? Were you able to finish all the questions? Did you lose your concentration? If so, it may be good for you to do a couple more full-scale prep tests to build up the mental strength and endurance.

My advice is to do you last prep-test 3 days before the actual test. Spend the last 2 to 3 days doing light work and go thru your errors.

All the best!

I am currently very frustrated with the GMAT. I am just wondering do you it's worth it to get a tutor if my target score is only between a 550-600? or would self-study be the way to go?

I have the sense that your low score had much more to do with your level of confidence than your mastery of the material. I would concentrate on getting more comfortable with the test and answering questions under pressure. For some people, an instructor can provide tremendous help with attaining this level of self-confidence. Other students find tutors of little value.

When you say confidence, do you mean it as being able to finish the test with time left to spare and not run out of time?

I feel like I know all the basic fundamentals front and back, after the numerous of times I went over it. But then when it comes to the real thing, I began to question myself if my answer is right. Some other answers would look good as well and I always end up picking the wrong one during process of elimination.

The self doubt/indecision that you describe is what I mean by confidence. Even the best test takers will find a few questions that seem to have more than one right answer (at least at first glance), but it is crucial that you develop the confidence to identify the best answer choice and move on to the next question.
