It's been 5 monthes since I decided to go for MBA. Yesterday I've taken the test for the first time, and I guess I've passed the first gateway toward MBA. I know I still have to go through many more gateways - harder ones.

Before preceeding with my story, I really do thank you everybody in this forum. (Many nicknames of those who helped me a lot in this forum hit upon my brain now, but I won't name them here since if I mistakenly omit one's nick, I'd feel really sorry. :wink: )

My GMAT breakdown

* Quantitative : 50 (95%)
* Verbal : 39 (89%)
* Total : 740 (98%)

My studying material

* Official Guide for GMAT 10th Edition
* Practical Test Volume I
* https://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/index.html (OF COURSE!!!)
* https://www.freechal.com/oneshotmath (Korean gmat club)

I am pretty sure that GMAT Club played the most important role !

Again, thank you everybody! :-D

Outstanding job Gamjatang! Your Math and Verbal scores both ROCK! Consider yourself a contender at any school that you apply at. Good luck with your applications!

btw: What was your impression of the math? what kind of problems did you encounter? easier or harder than the OG?

Sorry about my long suspense. I was very busy doing two projects at work. :-(

My impression of the math was somewhat 'strange'. Since middle school, math was my weakest part. After graduating from high school, I stopped studying math because none of my university curriculum was related to math. I was completely away from math for about 10 years.

Therefore, I had a big big concern about math in GMAT. "What should I do..what should I do..I'm really bad at math...what should I do..."

I went through OG math 2 times. The first time I finished OG math, I was so disappointed that I thought to myself "Should I give up going to MBA...?" My hit rate was below 60%! Luckily, I did not give it up and started to get accustomed to as many types of math questions as possible. Actually, I 'memorized' as many types of math questions as I could. I admit that I lack the brain which can think mathwise, so why don't I just memorize them all? (This was the same strategy I chose when taking the university entrance exam.) There are tons of different questions available in the two internet sites I posted up there (GMAT Club and oneshotmath), and I used these two sites as my main math sources.

I had so much fear against math, and was very nervous when I took the first GMAT test. While taking 5 minute break after finishing math part, I thought "Well...all those math questions were so easy. It should have been that I wasn't answering them right." (You know, when you answer the questions wrong, your next questions are easier than previous ones.) But I got 50 in math. I couldn't believe it myself...I guess my strategy worked this time, too.

In sum, math questions were easier than OG. No complicated calculation such as speed, dimension, etc), but many DS questions.

I am totally sure that you can do better than I did. Go for 51, Matt!
