Taking GMAT Next Week For MBA School

by Nima on 18 October, 2008

I’m taking GMAT exam next week. GMAT is the exam needed for an MBA application. I have been studying quite a bit for it, but it is never enough.

GMAT score ranges from 200 to 800. The median score is 500. Most good MBA school want above 600. However, schools like Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago and likewise like to see a score of 700+.

GMAT is three parts: English, essay, and Math. The Math part is easy as long as you don’t make stupid mistakes but the English and essay part can be challenging which in fact they are.

My plan is to finish the Kaplan GMAT book, and take at least 4 other sample tests before taking the GMAT. I will sign up for an exam date toward the end of October. The test costs $250 each time you take it. It would suck if I do poorly the first time and have to retake it.

I will post any GMAT and MBA tips that I learn along this path on my blog as well.
