@ rawjosh Well , i cant name any skools because i know no such skools in particular.But, as far as i can recall, i have read it on many forums,etc about it. Besides , people say that it maynot be official , but skools do so. @ares666 Thanks for the info, i appreciate it, m stil planning to give gmat one more time with some more practice, so atleast crack teh 700 mark. That would make my road more smooth and straight ! ;) Just the 3 yr old good /bad consideration thing still weighs on my mind

scores are valid for 5 years, i did verify that, tho only argument can be that some say univ donot take a score thats more than 3 years old into good consideration, if u get what i mean, tho its perfectly valid.

Hi all. I gave my gmat 2day, n got a modest 650. ( Q :47 , V : 33 )I am alot disappointed.I was suprised at my verbal score, and found the questions, esp CR to be lot tougher than OG material, or also GMATPrep tests 4 that matter. I need advice from senior people and experts as to what should be my next step. Profile : ---- I have just completed B.Tech ( computer Sci ) with 71 % overall. I INTEND to get some work ex,(which shld strt 4m november the max ) say of atleast around 3 years or maybe 4 . I am SURE that i will go for a MBA at some point in my career( say after 3-4 years of work ex ) , to enhance my career prospects. I wanted to give GMAT now so i don't have to do it while working. Therefore, my profile shld be of typical : I.T.-- MALE -- 3-4 years of Work Ex when i apply. ------ Now for my prep : I had completed all ques 4m OG( some of it more than once 2 ) , Studied kaplan, manhattan , & princeton. I also did some ques from some other sources as well. GMATprep scores are : 710 ( given 2 days earlier ) , 750 ( given yesterday ! ) , I also gave PowerPrep , and scored 750 & 760 in the two papers.( gave them over this last week). I never got a score below 38 in verbal in each of these tests. Gave 800'Score.com test : got 610 and 630. they were tougher than Gmatprep and Powerprep. Now i feel these tests were closer to to actual GMAT exp in verbal sec ! ------- I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FINAL RESULTS... It wasn't that i was nervous , i was pretty ok and feeling confident , but some how messed up my verbal. http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif ------- WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW, ? GIVE GMAT AGAIN ? SINCE I AM IN TOUCH WITH THE SYLLABUS , I GIVE IT ASAP ?Given my score in prep tests,ans some further preparation, do u pple think my score shld improve significantly the next time ? Or should i chuck it for now ? and think about it when i actually plan to take admission into B school ? Say if i improve my score to 700-730, what will be my chances of getting into a top 15 school ? top 10-15 ? ( after 3-4 years of work ex ) ? PLEASE HELP ME GUYS, AM A LOT CONFUSED http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif
