I just Beat The GMAT!

I took about 30 FLTs (software, Web site, paper) and there was only one test where I secured more than 710 (720).

I could have secured a higher score in V, but I guess my level of concentration decreased significantly by the time I reached V. I had taken all my mock tests on my laptop at my home/office/library, and had to take the actual GMAT in a cubicle, and had to stare at an LCD screen. At home, I could move my head, and look at a distance; not so in the actual test.

Moral of the story: please simulate your mock tests as well as you can. IMO, stamina is the key.

I am based in New Delhi, and will apply for PhD courses in the U.S, Singapore, France, and UK. If I can be of any help to anyone, please contact me at [email protected].

congrats!

Hi

Well good message for all BTGrs .....Congratulation for that score....Which univ are you targetting...

Congratulations sir. This is a fantastic score. Since you have scored brilliantly in quant can you please elaborate whether you found the patterms are changing or the same? Also when you took the exam? From sample statement it seems your verbal is fantastic, other than stamina any other reason if you can point out for low verbal, i mean you found certain section very tough or coudn't manage time etc, or is it that SC's are tough like? Also, have you written this exam earlier?

thanks.
