So I took the GMAT exam on Saturday (Graduate Management Admission Test for those of you not in the know) and it wasn’t fun.
Two 30 minute Analytical Writing sections
One 75 minute Quantitative (math) section
One 75 minute Verbal (English) section
The test is “adaptive” so that it adjusts to give you harder/easier questions based on whether you got the previous question correct or incorrect. Fun huh? So it’s about 4 hours of bliss in total silence. In fact, I was given ear plugs to wear during the exam, I had to raise my hand when I wanted to get up and wait for the proctor to signal that I could leave my seat, and I had to give them a digital finger print to identify me (using their scanner).
The good news is the test gives instant gratification and spits out a test-takers Quantitative and Verbal results immediately. I scored in the 60% percentile in the Verbal and writing sections. I was 46% percent in the math section. Overall, I’m way over what I needed for FDU and very happy with my above average score overall. I didn’t kill myself studying but I did what I could. Yay, it’s over!
