  • I took GMAT today

    Some of you may remember that I've been considering moving to Rochester because hubby got an offer to work on UR around last Christmas. I thought that this would give me an opportunity to go back to school, so I've been studying GMAT ever since. I worked hard this one and half month and all my hard work finally paid off this morning when I wrote the test. Guess how much I scored?

    How come they never inform me about these things? I don't think I volunteered for any mad experiment your husband has in mind.

    Out of a total of how much?

      Heh heh. Well if you wrote the test then you should've gotten everything right?

      You seem to be fairly pleased with yourself so I imagine you did pretty well. Congrats.

          What a nice coincident isn't it? University of Rochester it is. (And I guess that "on" should be "at", or "in", or something. )

          Out of a total of how much?
          800. There are three parts. Critical writing is scored separately from the others. It ranges from 1-6, and is scored by human so I won't get the score until two weeks later. The math and verbal part is scored by the Computer Adaptive Test engine so the scores are reported right after the test.


          Oh about the term of "writing" a test, I just leaned this not too long ago. It seems like writing a test means taking the test, somehow. It beats me why it is said this way too.

            Yeah, I beat. That's probably what the last thing a tiger says to a rabbit.

            Is the score curved?

              Sounds like the SAT.

                Yes the score is curved. And I appreciate that you have such confidence in me. I have actually not even heard of one person who's got an 800. But yes, it is not impossible, definitely.

                  What about the one that was killed by the Holy Hand Grenade in Monty Python?

                        I'm the same way... either I use time to further a resume or I use the time to better a life... don't let your schooling interfere with your education

                          I am disappointed. Your target should be getting an 800 in GMAT. With your background that should be a piece of cake for you. Now get back to more studying.

                            Which is the GMAT?

                            I know that the LSAT is for lawyers/criminals (what's the difference?).

                              Well, I got math 51 (full score) at 99 percentile (there is no 100 percentile), verbal 47 at 99 percentile (probably 3 or 4 wrong answers), and overall 780 out of 800, 99 percentile.

                              I am very happy. It doesn't matter whether it would lead to anything real. At least I've proved to myself that I can do anything if I really wanted to, and I can do it as good as anybody.

                              And I don't want a 800. I'm never a perfectionist. It is not real. The real perfection is the perfection with a little crack in it.
