Wow, after scoring a 680 on my first try last year, I decided to try and get that 700+ which was my original goal. My breakdown of 710 (93%) (49,38) (89%, 84%) should work fine for the schools I'm applying to (HBS, Stanford, LBS and Cal-Berkely) though you can by no means count on your test score alone. What a great feeling to have done it and off my plate. What will I do every night now?

Thanks so much for the support and info from this site.

I recommend taking as many practice tests as possible. Thanks everyone.

My question exactly! I stopped at the bookstore on the way home from Pearson and bought a novel - something totally unrelated to business or math! My plan today (if I ever get off this forum..........)is to curl up with my book and a big bowl of Ben and Jerry's.

Don't worry - once you start B-school you'll have plenty to keep you busy at night - enjoy the vacation!

I spent 1-2 hours each night on a different topic. Total time of about 2 months but that was broken up b/w long work nights, or vacations, etc where my study time became eratic. Main thing is take practice CATs b/c timing is critical to success in scoring high. OG 11 and Kaplan online were my primary sources of practice Qs.

Now on to applying to my top 4...
