This morning I got my official score report online. No changes...too bad! :lol:

670 (Q45, V37)
5.5 AWA

As a jumping off point to your next attempt, that's a great score, and it isn't shabby by itself. Raise your verbal by just a couple of points, and you will have your 700+, no doubt! Nerves can be a killer, but now that you've taken the exam once, I bet they won't be a factor the next time. Good luck with your studies!

Hey all, just finished up my second attempt at the GMAT a few hours ago. I went from a 670 to a 700. Submitted my Duke and Wharton apps with two hours to spare! PHEW!

Thanks to everyone for all the help. It's been an experience, I can say that. After I took a practice Kaplan test in mid-September and got a 560, I was discouraged. I got back on the horse and lurked a ton before really posting. 670 the first time, but I thought my nerves played a part.

I thought I did better on the math to be honest with you, but oh well. My math was just under the 80%ile my first go around and now is above so that is good. My verbal stayed the same.

OG,OG, GMATPREP, OG, GMATPREP, etc. Those two resources are where I spent most of my effort.

:lol: It was more like 2.5 hours to spare. Everything was done on the apps, all I had to do was change the GMAT score and submit, so it wasn't a big deal. It did make my day hectic though.

I am an a clear example of how NOT to plan the whole GMAT process of b-school applications, eventhough it ended up alright.

Still waiting on the interview invite.

I forgot to update this thread when I got my official score report...I also improved my AWA to a 6.0.
