Hi All,
After reading posts of pple scoring 720 and above, I feel even worse about myself now. I have been gunning for a top score of 700+ but didn't even come close. I prepared myself with KAPLAN courses and books but still received only an average score.
My target school is U of Chicago but I think they are going to take one look at my score and throw my application into the bin.
I don't think I will take the exam again because I've really done my best. I always thought that math was always strong for me but it was the section that let me down.

OG is the Official Guide for the GMAT prepared by the Graduate Management Admission Council.
I personally think that the Math of Kaplan is tougher than the OG. So, Kaplan is good for Math. I don't know what advise to give. But if I were you, I would give taking admissions a shot. You never know it might work. After all, 650 is not a bad score. A few good letters of recommendations, should help you get in a good school.
Hope you find this advise helpful.

Hey,
I'm i the same boat. I just took the test today and scored a 640...I just couldn't belive it! I studied so freaking hard I don't know what to do. BUT I know that I need a solid 700 to land a top b-school and plan to take it again in one month....It's time to do a SWOFT or whatever that's called and pick out your weaknesses and NEVER GIVE UP. I may add that I started from a dismal 490 back in december.....
Cheers,

Congrats ChicagoGal,
650 is not a bad score, and like many others have said it's worth trying with that score. However with some more prep i'm sure you can also do better.
all the best.
