So I don’t post here too much but I do read a lot of the advice given. As such, I have a couple of comments and questions that maybe everyone else can help out with.
I’ve been studying for the GMAT for the past 2.5 months. I started off with 510 on the gmatprep test and recently scored 640 on the manhattan gmat test. While I am glad about my improvement so far, I have scored 640 on the last 3 tries and have been unable to budge my score. Despite studying and reading various posts about how to do so, I feel like my efforts are in vain. Has anyone else successfully dealt with such a similar problem or does anyone have any tips/suggestions at all? It would be greatly appreciated.
Also, when I look back at the SAT, I scored fairly well and based on where I was percentile-wise, it seems like I am doing far worse on the GMAT especially given how much time I have put into it. Is the GMAT designed to be a tougher test than the SAT, or are the average people who take the GMAT generally more qualified than those who take the SAT? It would be great to here a thorough comparison between the two if anyone has thoughts. It would also help me understand that I didn’t get a lot less smart after college.
Finally, my goal is to get past the golden 700 mark that everyone talks about. I have aspirations to get into a top 10 MBA program and when I talk to my peers in investment banking, many of them are unsatisfied with scores between 690-720 and are studying for their tests again to get in the 730-760 range. Am I mistaken into thinking that 700 isn’t enough or are my peers overly concerned?
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

It depends on the schools that you are planning to apply for. You can check different threads available for B School applications. Thread provides discussions about the range of GMAT score required to be competitive out of the lots.
In general, 700+ (710 - 730) is a good score.
