The GMAT Experience
Posted on Aug 25, 2007 under GMAT and MBA |Today I took the GMAT. For those of you unfamiliar with what this is, it’s the Graduate Management Admission Test that’s required to get into graduate business school. I registered for the GMAT about two and a half weeks ago and have been studying off and on since then.
My appointment was at 5:30 this evening and pretty much just wanted it to be over with more than anything. I was surprised at the security they have at the testing facility. They take your picture to make sure that it’s really you when you leave and enter the room for a break and whatnot. They also have fingerprint scanners to ID you as well. I didn’t really utilize the break times since I wanted to be in and out as fast as possible.
As far as the test goes, it was pretty much as I expected. It was really long though, and when all was said and done I was pleased with the score I received. I was actually quite surprised because I got a 750. It’s made me rethink some of my former plans and I’ll be exploring other possibilities. Mostly though, I glad it’s over.

Congratulations!! A 750 is a great score.

750 is well above the average score at almost every top tier school. If the rest of your resume is solid, you should have a very competitive application for whichever school you are thinking about attending. Congrats on your awesome score!
I plan on taking my GMAT in about 2 months, and am looking at applying in the January time frame (Round 2 for most top tier schools). Hopefully I can get in the 700 range!
