GMAT
Take it over Christmas break, study for 2 days and then take a day off before the exam
I don't see why people stress over the GMAT, its not like taking the LSAT or the MCAT, it is in all probability the easiest grad school exam there is...given that you are a native english speaker and intelligent enough to pass the SAT and enter a legitimiate university, there is no reason not to crack 650 on the GMAT
take your SAT, divide it by 2, give or take 30 points to ball-park your score: 1380 SAT, 710 GMAT so you can beat the "rule of thumb" on any given day
whats the rule of thumb.
whats the rule of thumb.
rule of the thumb
Everyone I talked to beforehand said divide your SAT by 2, and they say the Standard Deviation is between 30 and 40 points.
well
well a) I'm not a native speaker b) my SAT was crap since I really didn't care to study back then
I think i'll approach this the same way I approach regular tests, seems to work for me heh
