Just took the GMATs

I took it a while back...the GREs are much easier than that GMATs in my opinion...they ask some really messed up questions in the verbal and math parts. I got a 550...pretty bleh but oh well.
 
What did you get? I got a 610 and am thinking about going to retake them next year or the year after if I decide to do a PhD.
 
Time to bring this thread back from the dead.

For those that were asking, I am still waiting the official results, but unofficially a 730. My big complaint with it was that the question weren't at all like the practice questions from Princeton Review and the like. Aside from the formats, I found the way the questions were phrased resembled the LSAT's a whole lot more. Fortunately I had already taken those.

My take on the LSAT's: Not so hard questions, but too little time. The test designers gear the test to favor those who do not need to re-read a question. If given 10 more minutes a section, the test would be way easy.

On the GMAT's: Harder questions than the LSAT's but more time per question (75 minutes for 37 quantitative and 41 verbal each) versus the 35 minutes for 22-26 questions of the LSAT's.

Also about the GMAT's, if you haven't taken a computer test like it...get a hold of a CD and practice. Get used to answering a question and not having the ability to go back and change it. And the first 10 questions are the most important.

Now I get to apply to dual-degree programs. (I'm currently in my first year of law)

*watches another $1000 in application fees fall into the gutter*
