I want to prepare for the GMAT to go to graduate school. So, I have about a year and a half. My goal of getting 720 in the GMAT is medium flexibility. Is that right? I perceive it to be both flexible and non flexible! How do you think? Hi Scott,

I've found that deadlines are critical. Whether it's losing weight, getting something fixed or completing any type of assigment. You must work towards a deadline. Keep up the great work Scott. <a href="http://www.craigharper.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Craig Harper</a> Hey Scott,
