In Reply To: Just an FYI for our discussion...I just took the GMAT and got a 670 on the test...89th percentile. But the thing that sucks is that although my verbal percentile was 98th, my mathematical percentile was 59th! This is a huge drop from another GMAT I took six years before, where I scored in the 99th and 85th percentiles, respectively. That rustiness is the main reason that I need as much prep work in finance before I tackle the CFA. Morgannon
Message: that's disturbing and i would definitely study the math more before taking the test over again which you DEFINITELY SHOULD. if i saw that score, i'd immediately think math idiot. sorry but true. i know it's not pertinent to every day job but come on, it's not that hard. if you can't master the gmat level math, i'd seriously question if you fully understand the nuances of the financial engineering that goes on out there. heck with the cfa, retake that gmat buddy.
