Thanks…!! I will take the GMAT in 2013 so I guess I get to take the new section…In the end I will study until I break into the 700 club. Hope it won’t take me 500 hours of study time.
Well good luck then!
I recommend getting the 3 official problem books (1 math, 1 verbal, 1 combo) and doing all the problems in them. Doing those ~1000 questions will really help a lot.
A huge factor in the GMAT is time, which you cannot easily simulate in practicing, but there are a few (somewhat expensive) online tests that try to do the adaptive thing, and you get 2 free official practice tests that are very important.
Last note, you can really only take the GMAT once, maybe twice. It’s not like the SAT where you just report your best scores; last I heard they sort of average all of them. And the test is $250 anyway.
You’ll be well prepared if you do 2,000 questions, which at 2 minutes tops per question is ~65 hours of studying to be in great shape.
Thanks chaddy… sounds pretty intense and I like it. I will start around september.
i’ve had a bunch of final rounds but no offers on the table yet. granted my recruiting is non-traditional (not banking, consulting, marketing, GM) i think a good chunk of my class ~ 20-30% is still looking. i have buddies with mega-cap pe experience still struggling to land.

I never thought about SAT = 2 * GMAT. But I had 1430 SAT and 760 GMAT, so I wouldn’t count on it to be very accurate. The SAT and GMAT English sections are very different – the GMAT is a logic test throughout, and there is absolutely no emphasis on vocabulary or “soft” English. It’s all grammar, all the time.
As far as “averaging,” retesting does not average your results. I forget if all scores are reported, but they will definitely see your best score. A lot of people retake the GMAT for a better score.
hey there- can you talk more about your experience at UW ASAP? Also, what are some comparable schools in terms of competitiveness? School is definitely a hidden gem. Thanks
Both MBA and CFA are great degrees in itself. With MBA you get the job once you have finished the degree . But with CFA It helps you moveup along with the experience. CFA level 2 is considered equivalent to MS finance . So there is no need to do MS finance seperately along with CFA. The best strategy for you would be to complete MBA , get the job and simultaneously pursue the CFA.
Hope this works…
Thanks…
^ MBA doesn’t guarantee a job.
The closest thing of guaranteeing you a job is good experience and good network.
But MBA is a qualification which enhances your job prospects . Especially quality job . With network you can find job in any category . A graduation will be good enough for a job of that level. So long a good experience is concerned I think you are doing all the struggle for that experience/ job only.
Can we really only take the gmat once or twice? And if we take more than once, do they really average? I was thinking of taking the gmat after i clear l3 and study for ~2mos in time to do apps on august. How much time do ppl generally spend taking gmat? thx
^ You can take it as many times as you like.
