My 7-month long journey has finished today: I took the test for the 3rd time and got 700. Good score? Not really - check my 'progress':

Feb: 690 (47/38) AWA 6
Apr: 710 (49/38) AWA 6 < two months of preparation focusing only on verbal
May: 700 (47/38) AWA ? < one month of preparation focusing only on verbal

Interesting observations:
- the same split 47/38 results in two different scores: 690 and 700
- despite total 7 months of verbal study, my verbal score did not move a dime...

Anyhow, my GMAT journey is over, I'll see you in the TOEFL and applications forums!

Its a pity that you didn't improve verbal at all with the efforts you put in.

Would you mind sharing with us, how you prepared the verbal part? what material you used? what do think could the reasons that you didnt improve? i am sure it will be helpful for us !;) thank you

Moi pryvitannya!
the final score may vary by 10 , very rarely by 20 points within the same split.
Of course it varies downside.

Sorry to hear that, I know that your timing became excellent and you used proper materials.
Anyway may advise is still the same: if you do well with TOEFL, than come back and get better score.

What is $250? The cost of one extra application. Saving $250 and 1 month of studying is nothing when it comes to $500000. Other things being equal, the higher GMAT, the more chances to get in and even receive a scholarship from a school.

For now, good luck with TOEFL, it is more serious task than many think.
