A friend told me he took the GMATs recently after a 72hr Adderall binge (ie no sleep) and only 20hrs of studying.

He got 100pts less than he wanted, but no big deal, he'll just take it again since he now knows what he has to study to reach his goal.

It took everything within me not to shout "IDIOT" when he told me this. The GMAT is $250, that's no chump change.

Responses:

that sounds like something he would do....i think it's bc he's old...err...older... :p -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:43 7
- I think it's because he's an idiot and enjoys being able to tell people he's soooo busy to sound important. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:46 6
  - do you know which school he's trying to get into? - fedup Feb 28, 21:49 5
    - He's content with continuing at his current school. He hates HR, constantly texts me about it every class hour, complaining. - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:53 4
      - i started writing it...but it got too involved and i'm feeling lazy. (off topic: did you get my number?) -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 22:06
      - I'm getting such a mini-Dawson and mini-znufrii vibe at the moment. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 21:54 2
        
        dang I feel it myself too now that you point it out. But that would mean I'd have to hate on Fedup every chance I get -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:56 1
        
        just be careful -- I Know What You (Really) Did Last Summer...heh heh heh - fedup Feb 28, 21:58
I forget if it is in LSAT or the GMAT, but they don't like it when you take it numerous times. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:42 7
- i know the LSAT doesn't -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 21:44
- do you have to declare the number of times you took it? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:43 5
  - Yes, they will automatically know. These tests are very well controlled. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:47 3
    - i dont know if i would say "very well" -- (link) - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 21:49 2
      - If you can cheat to get into business school, doesn't that mean... - psilotum Feb 28, 22:25
      - Oh yeah, that. Fine, not very well.. but well. :P -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:51
  - the test company keeps records. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:43
if he does this stuff as a habit, it will catch up eventually. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:40
