heyyy.. i'm just impressed someone has WORSE spelling than i do..  did you go to elem school in CA?  we used to take the CTBS tests at the end of every school year..  I always scored between 99-97 on all math/reading/writing/comprehension sections..  but my spelling ALWAYS rated way way low..  i think my low year was 11 and my high year was 36..


ha ha, i was the same way, 97-99 percentile, except spelling.

I took the Gmat a couple of years ago and did pretty well, although my scores were very skewed (and not towards Math unfortunately).  Anyway, I was really thrown by the computer based test.  Get a cd and practice.   Every test taking skill you've ever learned gets thrown out the window. 

Practice the essay sections.  I didn't because I am typically strong on any sort of essay test and I must have missed some key things the computer was looking for.  My scores there weren't awful, but I expected to easily get high ones and they came back perfectly average. (Currently praying that there aren't a ton of mistakes in this post so that everyone points out exactly why I didn't score well.)

I thought I did horribly on the math.  I didn't do as well as I hoped, but after taking the math section I was debating not submitting my scores.  I had studied pretty thoroughly because I don't use math ever at work, so it had been 10 years since I had to do even an algebra problem.  Since the questions get progressively harder I was well into math that I hadn't seen since trig and pre-calc in high school.  It was scary, but apparently the computer took me to that math because I had done fine on earlier sections.  So don't panic if you get into questions you can't answer, the way the test is run it just means you are doing well.

I took it back in 01 and like I said earlier it was like th ACT or SAT with a typed essay as well. I had to really focus on math I learned in High School it seemed like. I just went through that book for a couple of months and did fine. I dont know about which school you are trying to get into as far as required score but mine took my GPA times a factor plus GMAT to get in. So I was not as stressed about scoring really high but I am not a slacker so I prepared and did real well and was way over the minimum. Best of Luck
