700 (q48 V38)

[0riginal]

I am considering retaking..is the dismal score..the worst I have across all the tests I took..GMATPrep, Powerprep, Manhattan GMAT..Consistent 740-760..


My quant was ok but verbal was way below all my tests...and I'll you why..there is such a thing as "too much" Red Bull..even if you go you might find that you have to go again within 45 minutes..so go on and down a quarter of the standard can but not more..

I am a little torn because, on the one hand, this score will suffice to get me into the ones I am applying to (Chicago GSB / NYU Stern / Michigan Ross) btw it is a low score..

[strout]

how much red bull did you take? did you ever try it before the test?

[Orange08]

congratulations Original. Its a great score. Could you please let me know how much break is allowed between different sections?

strout: ..one 8.3 oz can..never tried it with my practice tests (should have)..

orange: 10 minutes each b/w AWA and Quant and b/w Quant and Verbal

Congratulations Original !
On the positive side, its a balanced score

well done, its still over 700!

A quarter of a red bull?!?! I had 3 cans during my test! Mind you I drink so many jager - red bulls that I'm so used to the stuff.

[thankont]

Truly depends on your decision and confidence level!
Apart from that the most important thing is you should consider whether the schools you are targetting for do consider best of two or they average out scores!
700 is not bad..

[jordan23VT]

most if not all top schools take your best score...

Thanks for the info on the scores - Surya and shakevt..I am not too worried about the score..am confident I can hit 730+..the problem is that I have to wait for 31 days before I can retake the test and will end up missing app deadlines..


modusoperandi, thankont, Chris: thank you for your wishes..
