I didn't take the GMAT, but I took the GRE. Got a 170 in Math (96th percentile), a 168 in Verbal (98th percentile), and a 5.5 in Writing (98th percentile). So a 338 / 340.

I was going a for a dual degree, and the other program required the GRE.

I took a few practice GMAT exams (years ago when I was going through this process) and I think the math was harder, but the verbal was similar.

Not a graduate, but got accepted at 3 M7 this year. My gmat score is 700

3 times. First time, no preparation - scored below 600 (with 50 quant lol but you can image the struggle with verbal part). Second - 640 (I was pretty frustrated as I was well prepared and kept getting around 720 at prep test). Third time - 700, I took the test 2 weeks after my second time (I did almost nothing in terms of preparation and just gave myself time to relax)
