Hi all,

I took the GMAT back in January of this year and scored a 430, but I'm not sure what my "raw scores" mean. I got Verbal 25/40% and Quant 23/9%, for a total 430/15%, AWA 5.5/80% amd IR 2/12%.. can someone translate?

A few details:
I studied... incorrectly and had a lot going on. Will be taking the test again in exactly 2 months from today.
My school needs a 570 minimum with 46% in both Verbal and Quant... so what raw score would that be?
How hard would it be to get a 600 ish within the 2 months?
I recently took a course with Manhattan Prep, and am studying with their materials now and with OG, albiet with little to no motivation due to anxiety from my previous failure the gmat scares me!!!

Many thanks in advance!

Hi EnnEss101,

Raising a 430 to a 570+ (with the specific improvements that you noted for the Quant and Verbal sections) will likely take at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - so the goal of accomplishing that feat in 2 months might be too difficult to be considered realistic. What application deadline(s) are you facing? And will hitting that 570 score 'guarantee' you admission to the School or are there other factors that also have to be considered?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
