Yeah, Dont remember what I scored.
My experience was the test was a bunch of BS. because none of that stuff is relevant college material.
I used Kaplan book to study.

It's more about reason rather than numbers (for math) and shyt you learned in high school. Verbal skills will save your life
I would suggest you get into a prep program though. I was just trying to continue with my schools program for undergrad plus I had the hook up so I didn't give a fukk. To actually get in a good place you need study, hard.

I was going to, bought the book and everything. Than i thought to myself....

So it pretty easy if it's like high school material? Is the mental fatigue from the length of the test the hardest part?

590s not too bad, won't get you into Harvard but still not bad. So if u studied youd probably do really well brah. I'm going to start studying for it in a few months, I heard its only worth studying 1-1.5 months max, is this true?

Yes, keeping your train of thought steady and composure through out the test is the worst part, especially if you hit some things that you don't know the answer to.
For math, it's pretty much Algebra and geometry. But those can get hard if you are not familiar with the concepts/formulas/thinking out side of the box on how to solve equations. Data Sufficiency is a bytch if you aren't familiar with how to work through it. (I've heard this from a good amount of my friends even) Really focus on verbal though. A very good verbal score will save your whole score, a good quantitative one will not. A lot of people do not focus on verbal, but it's really the key to getting better scores.
I would say 2-3 months studying or until you're popping out the test score you want in practice rounds. It's not a cheap test and it has a big impact on the quality of school you can get into. Prepare for it as long as you need to.
One of my boys got into a top 5 school with a score in the mid 600s
Good luck

Thanks for the tips bro.
What was his work/life experiences like? What school he go to B?
damn bro, 740!! That's a good look bro, where you decide to go to school? Also is that all you studied or did you do some courses or use other materials as well?
Props
Is the verbal portion longer than the math/quantitative section?
This shyt is so true - the Indians and the Chinese really fukk up the quant curve, so if you can nail the verbal you're good. shyt, I was like 79 percentile in quant (the power went out for 1 min during the math section, couldn't see my worksheet
) and 99 in verbal, ended up with 97 percentile overall.
he was good across the board
life experience? he has a story that interview committees like to hear. he grew up a lot tougher than your average student at these top mba programs
he did well in undergrad gpa wise
hes worked at a really good company for 3 years
are you trying to get into a top ranked school? you dont need a 700. look at the 25-75 percentile scores
wharton: 540-790
stanford: 580-790
northwestern: 640-740
if you can score in your schools range you should be straight
i got another homeboy who had a low gpa (something like a 2.7), scored in the low 600s on the gmat, had limited work experience and still got a full scholarship to a school right outside the top 70.

They are both the same amount of time, but quantitative has 4 less questions, but you will finish the verbal in a way faster time than you will the quantitative. It's natural. If you don't work fast enough, you will probably not finish the quantitative. Don't get hung up on problems thinking you'll eventually find a way to solve them. You more than likely won't.
Not even BSin'. I was readin' through those strategy books after I took the test and
they would have definitely helped. I'd really invest in them. MGMAT and Kaplan if you wanna drop a little extra.Test structure:

Yep. Those verbal skills can save you cause a lot of people don't know the proper grammatical way to say things, just what sounds good.
