Phew.
Done with the GMAT. Got 710.
Well I had received way higher scores in my mock gmats - & given GMACs claim of 0.95 reliability of the exam, this really should not have happened .. Oh well.
I'm told a score of 710 should be enough to get thru the top schools- since its over the magic 700 figure.
(foreign applicants- especially indians- are rumoured to have more rigorous GMAT requirements).
What did I do for this score?
Well my Prep started 2 months earlier.
I got Princeton & kaplan gmat prep books, & the official exam guides. (i will put up an amazon list soon)
Also I attended a meetup (meetups.com) on the GMAT to find some support from others preparing for the GMAT.
I visited sites like beatthegmat.com, pagalguy.com etc
& of course, I gave the GMAT mock exams (free download from mba.com)
It really helps to get into a test mood- especially since most of the GMAT takers have not appeared for a competitive exam in a while.
For this, having someone also preparing for the GMAT along with you is a big help.
All the best- prospective MBA's!
