4-year-old GMAT Scores
Mixed answers on the net. Does anyone know if a 720 from 2007 is worth the same as a 720 from 2011, assuming the school accepts scores in a 5 year range?
If you buy Manhattan GMAT books on Amazon, do you get access to CATs?
I want to buy used MGMAT books, but I figure the CATs are necessary as well. Do you get access with some kind of password, or is it a CD-rom?
What the heck do I do with my summer.
About me: BS /MA candidate (IR/econ) at target school, good GPA. I'm graduating undergrad in May, but recently found out I would have to come back in the fall to finish up the grad work. In early 2012 I report to active duty (Infantry BOLC). After the Army I'd like to get an MBA or potentially MBA...
GMAT Score Question -- Should I retake it?
I took the GMAT recently and received an unofficial score of 710. This isn't as great as I had hoped, mostly because I didn't do very well on the quant section. I'm applying to Harvard's 2+2 program as a female (does that part even help?) from a top-10 liberal arts college with a 3.5/4.0 major...
GMAT Format Change

Bad First Practice GMAT Score
Hey All, So I took my first practice gmat test (official test) and scored a 530 (31Q, 31V). I took it as a baseline test to see where I stand before starting my studies with manhattan GMAT.

GMAT Verbal PDFs?
Does anyone know where I can get PDFs for critical reasoning, reading comp, or AWA? I’ve bought all eight physical MGMAT books, but I’m in a time crunch and want to study some verbal at work. I didn’t think MGMAT offered PDFs, but I did find a PDF of the first chapter of CR on their website…...

Can I retake GMAT?
Lets say I do it and get a shitty score. I then retake and get a decent score...when applying for B-schools is it the most recent score that counts? Also in general is a high gmat score doable if you put the work in or is it more a test of intelligence?

Taking the GMAT in the spring
When does everybody take the GMAT to get into b-school? This is sort of a noob question cause I havent looked into it really at all. I'm going to have time this spring before work and feel like it would be best to take it soon since I have time and nothing better to do. Thoughts?
GMAT Woes

My breakdown is 41Q, 48V which equates to the 58th percentile on the quant part and well into the 99th percentile for verbal. Problem is, most schools could care less about my verbal score....

Took the GMAT. 92nd percentile in verbal but 28th in math (600 total). How bad will this look to MBA programs?
retaking it is not really an option because 1) there's a rolling deadline and 2) i went up nearly 40% in verbal from what i normally score, i dropped down in math from my last test but can't see myself beating the overall score. i'm absolutely shocked it turned out this way but it is what it is. my...

GMAT for Full Time Recruiting
How big of a bump would the GMAT be for full time recruiting for IBD / S&T if I scored over 700? 750? I know recruiting is getting underway soon, and I've been studying for a little while now.

MIT M.Fin
When b-schools accept GMAT or GRE it seems that more preference is given to GMAT. Since MIT's M.Fin accepts both scores which would be the better to submit? Thanks.

720 GMAT, low quant % -> retake?
Got 720 on the GMAT. Serviceable score, but with a nasty split: 95th percentile verbal, 75th quant. Planning to pursue IB post-MBA, and will likely present this story at MBA interviews. If that's the case, I'll probably want a higher quant score. I have no problem with math, just didn't spend that...
