Hey guys,
I'm new at this forum so I'll introduce myself first instead of rushing into my question. My name is Tom, I'm a 23 yo student from the Netherlands and currently finishing my Bachelor in Business Administration.
After I get my degree I would like to start my Master in Management in Mannheim. I pass all the requirements except for the GMAT. Mannheim Business School requires at least a 600 score. I couldn't find any specific requirements for the Essay part and the integrated reasoning section (so if anyone has experience with this according to the requirements of Mannheim Business School, please let me know).
My question is the following:
The admission period is from march 15th till may 31st, I can send them my GMAT score until june 15. As I said, the minimum score is 600 but because I only have a GPA of a little higher than 3 (I'm not sure what my exact GPA is because we work with a different system) I want to score somewhat higher than 610 if you know what I mean. I'm aiming at 670, anything higher would be fine of course.
I did a practice test last weekend without any preparation and scored 450. I didn't use al the available time and rushed true the questions a bit. I started studying today and I was planning my upcoming month(s). I want to make sure I got the 600 at least and if I've somewhat higher than 600 I'm thinking of doing a retake to improve my score. At the official GMAT website I read that it can take up to 20 days before you receive your actual score, does this mean (if I send my results to Mannheim immediately as well) that I've to make sure I take the test arround april 24th (taking into account that I have to do a retake)?
So for example: I'll take my first test at april 22th, the university in Mannheim will receive my score at around may 12th.
I'm allowed to do a retake 31 days after my first test, so this would be around may 23th. (so Mannheim will receive my score before june 15th?
What do you guys think of my chances to pass the GMAT at the first time? My first test results were: Q:25 points (14th percentile) V:27 points (43rd percentile). I'm not a star in Math, but not bad as well. I'm better in verbal questioning though. I really want to do this master degree and I don't want to wait for a year before I can start.
Edit: I'm using Cracking the GMAT 2014 edition (princeton review), is this enough for a 650-670 score? Or should I use something as well?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom,
You have a pretty good chance of getting to Master in Management- Mannheim. However the GMAT score will be the decider. Since the GPA is a bit on the lower side you may have a tough competition. But with a good GMAT score (680+), nothing can stop you.
Never go by the results of the mock GMAT scores. In the actual one, the mental pressure would be on the higher side and it might show in your results. Its better to solve maximum number of questions and try taking quick mock tests frequently. However mock GMAT test will help you to familiarize the sections and questions types.
All the best!!!

Thanks!
I think 680 is going to be my target, thanks for your advice! I received my book yesterday, so I'll do the best I can to finish it quickly. After that I can practice questions and get familiar with taking the test.
What do you think of my schedule of taking the GMAT? Do you think it's necessary to plan a retake just to make sure? And if so, does it really take 20 days before the institution receives my score?
Any advice on which books to use in addition to my current book are welcome ofcourse.
Thanks again.
