Hey guys,
This is my first post here. I gave GMAT today for the first time and my marks are as follows. I studied for about 4 weeks on and off (no break from work). I have about 6 years of experience in consulting.
Q - 44
V - 40
Overall - 680
IR 4
I am very disappointed for one major reason. I missed the last 2, 3 and 3 questions in IR, Q, and V totaling to about 8 due to bad time mismanagement. Some advice here please.
Secondly, due to anxiety, while thinking about the right answer, clicked the wrong one and moved on in a hurry in the quants section on 2 occasion.
I have a problem with my attention span and am working on it.
As part of preps, I took two Veritas prep exams and the 2 free GMATPrep exams. Most studied the OG and questions bank from Veritas.
Practice Test Scores -
In order of being taken.
Official GMATPrep 1 - 640
Veritas Prep 1 - 570
Veritas prep 2 - 590
Official GMATPrep 2 - 660
Note - In all four, I have had time management problems and have missed questions in the section ends. (More on the veritas exams). This is one area I am finding difficult to improve on.
The Veritas exams are a bit more difficult than the official ones and I thought were more helpful in touching on parts which otherwise I would miss.
If I could have at least attempted the 8 questions, could have probably clocked 700 or more but time management has been an issue in all the practice tests as well.
I wanted to apply for the well known asian schools like INSEAD, NUS, ISB, etc but would not be able to. While I have been able to pinpoint the two major problems I had, I am not sure about how to tackle them, specially time management. Please provide me some advise if you faced similar problems.

Hi psreloaded,
First off, a 680 is a strong overall score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you.
When you say that you 'missed' those last few questions in each section, does that mean that you did NOT answer them at all? If that's the case, then the 'penalty' for not getting to those Quant and Verbal questions could have cost you enough points to 'knock you out' of 700+ range. This is all meant to say that with some minor adjustments, you could have a 700+ right now. From what you describe though, this has been a problem that you've had for some time, so it's not going to be 'fixed' quickly.
Before deciding whether to retake the GMAT or not, you might want to discuss your overall profile and application plans with an Admissions Expert. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
If you do choose to retest, then I have some suggestions that should help you to raise your Quant score and improve your overall pacing.

Hi EmpowerGmatrichc,
Yeah for IR and Quants, complete missed them. For verbal since I knew I was gonna miss them, 2 out of three, i ticked randomly, third i couldn't reach. so 6 i completely missed, 2 i just clicked through at the last moment.
Thanks for the advice. I will ask the experts in that section but I am planning to give the test again in a month. Your suggestions for the my time problem and quants could be very helpful. Please let me know.
