No

What's a B-school? And didn't you already finish your university education?

Congrats on the score, I don't know what the range of scores is but Harvard only accepts the best

I think I need to flip my gmat.

Indians like to show off. (They rarely get the chance).

Good job. Pretty close to my score. Hope your GPA is high enough for the expensive schools.

[remstaling]

Yes.

[mp3 free]

where did you get your BA from?

Isn't a 770 on gmat almost a perfect score? Or is it better to score low than high? I really am not sure about this, somebody. If it is the former then thats pretty awesome.

[ChebuRAtoR]

770 is an awesome score, anything over 700 is an invite to apply to the top schools out there. Good job LS.

I scored just under a 700, but I should OF done better

I should've tried that book, I heard good things about it. I had a Princeton Review book which was useless (just tips and tricks for guessing on questions for those who need to guess), except for the stuff on test format, which was useful.

I couldn't have gone back to change my answers, but when I noticed I had so much time left, I should have slowed down and double-checked each answer (especially since the later questions were the harder ones).

Wiglaf, 800 is a perfect score. Unfortunately, the distance between 770 and 800 is much greater, I think, than between 740 and 770.

You could also be unlucky... and run into a rare easier questoin you got wrong, and then be held in a lower section...

Ahh, good. I like the CAT. Yes, once you're aware of how long you have you can spend more time on individual questions... my problem was I fell for a couple of tricks and didn't realize it until after I put in the answer and then realized what it was saying!

Jon, it doesn't penalize you that way. One question doesn't severely penalize you - you just have to answer one more hard question to move back up. As long as you keep answering right you'll keep moving up. The idea is you'll reach a poitn at which you start answering right/wrong/right/wrong (give or take) and that's your actual score. I think the number of questions actually varies based on when you reach this point (though it's not unlimited).

Nice. Are you doing an Executive/part time program?

The weakest part of my application is going to be work experience. Good GMAT and GPA scores will help, but I fear 2 years won't be enough.

Also, I only have a month to write like 8 essays

[Carol]

It's an evening program; 4 hours per night, 2 nights a week for 2 years. It's not an executive program as that program takes less time, and it's not a part-time because it only takes two years and is a lockstep program (the class stays together). So, I have no idea. I think they just call it an evening program.

It's at Xavier University, and they have a good reputation around here so I'm sure it's no University of Pheonix or anything like that.

That's not quite true, as I understood it. The way the CAT system works puts much heavier emphasis on the first few questions. Get those wrong, and no amount of correct answers thereafter will recoup the lost ground. Hmm, perhaps on the first few, but those are typically fairly easy ones...

Nobody knows their exact algorithm, but it's supposed to be based on item response theory. So if you're going to make, say, 5 mistakes, it's better to have them spread out over teh test (including at teh beginning) than clustering them at teh end.

What if they are clustered in the beginning?
