Every one, today I am writing to share my gmat experience. I took that boring exam 5 times in 7 months. My story goes as follow. GMAT 1 : 440 (OCT 2004) GMAT 2 : 440 (DEC 2004) GMAT 3: 500 (JAN 2005) GMAT 4: 530 (APR 2005) GMAT 5: 530 ( MAY 2004) :blush: GMAT 6: Petiotion denied by ETS (MAY 2004) :rolleyes: I was ashamed of my scores. I did not tell even my immediate family my original scores. I applied to only one school. I loved that school. The average stats for that school are: GMAT: 610 GPA: 3.3 Work Experience : 6 years. MY STATS: GMAT: 530 GPA : 2.8 WORK EXPERIENCE : NIL WIth the low scores such as those, there was no chance I was going to be accepted. BUT I never gave up. I took GMAT again and again and kept bugging the admission officer again and again by going to her office . LAST WEEK I was admitted into the program. :tup: I am so happy. Last week I was diagnosed with Adult attention Deficit Disorder too. :-D . On boring things, I have attention span of 5 mins. I end up reading some boring questions 3-4 times, where as I gasp some right away regardless of how difficult those questions are. Also, I never notice the difficulty level increasing. :mad: Only my dreams made me take that boring exam again and again. I just hated gmat, and had always clicked through the RC passeges whereever they appeared. "Persistence" is the key. Never give up. That admission dicision came as a shock for me. If I was not going to be admitted , I would have applied in Fall again and would have been ready to begin GMAT testing starting October. :grad: I don't remember a time when I was so happy.

Never give up.. Look at my scores. 1st Test: 440 2nd test : 440 3rd Test: 500 4th Test: 530 5th test: 530 6th test: permission denied by ETS So i took 5 tests in 7months. :tup: But, yesterday I got admitted in a college of my choice. The av GMAT at that college was 600. Ave GPA was 3.3. Av work experience was 6 yrs Loook at my scores: Gmat 530, GPA 2.81. Work experience: nil.. I guess admission officer see more than scores.

Its Important that the Original answe be attached with the passege, otherwise, this forum does not make much sense.

Yah..It happened to me. I got a 80 line passege in one para.. I got two paras back to back. surprisingly first para was 80 line and next was easy 40 line.

I go for A, E, E

Ok dokie, I got C, A , A

http://www.rnb-consult.ru/gas/index.php?ID=35 Thanks Alex for the link. These tests are the best I have seen in market after power prep. Math is tougher than actual GMAT. In verbal, RC passeges are 100-150 lines, way to longer than real gmat. CR is good and so as the SC. Highly reccomended.

I was not afraid to lose my 440 bro

What i got to lose boy. :D

800 score tests are not good. Their verbal is different from real GMAT. Stay away from them...I bought those tests. If you want them i can email you. I am speaking from experience. This gmat test next week would be my fifth in 7 months.:tup:

Thanks for your post. Do i have to be connected to the internet for taking this test.

Hi Every one. My GMAT is in one week. I ran out of practice tests. I do not want to take prenston, kaplan and official tests again. Can any one recommend some Good GMAT tests that are very close to the real gmat tests. I would recommend if some member can post or direct me to a link where I can dowload them. Thanks in Advance. Jamie, Thanks for contribution manhatton material and official tests.

I will be taking my fifth gmat in seven months this May 23rd. Here are my scores GMAT 1 440 Gmat 2 440 Gmat 3 500 Gmat 4 530 Gmat 5 ??? Any one got any tip for me :D

the conclusion contains physical disease but the evidence doesnt talk about it at all. In order to bridge the gap b/t evidence and conclusion, i choosed B. I think reversing cause and effects is a valid assumption too as in B. This was a very close call b/t B and D..I think this question would have beet better if phsyical part was taken off from the conclusion.

E..Because it makes sense
