I agree the GMAT was tough. I ended up taking it twice the first time I thought I could wing it, did a little practice but not enough. The test killed me, longest few hours of my life taking it. Did not get the score I needed, and ended up taking again but did go the route actually practicing and prepping for it the second time and did well. The tests are no joke so don’t expect to show up and do well.
With that said going to grad school was the best thing I could have done. I struggled to be a B student in undergrad mostly because I did not have the passion for classes, it was not until my senior in College that I started to be a good student as I liked the material. For my MBA I graduate with like a 3.8 GPA as I loved the matterial and how grad classes were taught.
It definitely opened up a lot of job opportunities for me as having experience and success in my field with the added piece of paper made my resume a lot more friendly to recruiters. It also gave me confidence knowing I had did so well, I know longer saw myself as an average college student.
Bro, Data Sufficiency questions that are unique to the GMAT can go straight to hell. After I was done with my MBA with a very high GPA I went back to my old test-prep book and opened up the Data Sufficiency section and it is still like reading a different language. My brain just does not play nice with that format.
I showed them to my wife who is a math wiz and she also had so much trouble with Data Sufficiency. lol
