Thank you for this post jimpropheit, you inspire me to give the GMAT another go.
I'm also Filipino, btw
I took my GMAT last DEC-2.
I allotted time for my preparation, took time-off from my job and enrolled in a well-known GMAT Prep service here in Makati.
Overall I spent 3 months in full preparation, finished all the materials, even did my own writings on the wall.
The practice tests were promising too, averaging at 650 for my 9 practice tests.
But when test day came, I was floored with a 500 score (Q31, V28).
I don't know what happened. I got depressed so I took a month off (for Pasko with the family)
Today, 1/4/12 i'm going to re-open my materials, check my bases, and treat each problem with care.
My takeaway from your post is for me to: (really) UNDERSTAND the Problem.
I am planning to take my GMAT by February, will schedule by next week and give an update on how it goes.
I wish you the best on the next phase of your application process
Cheers!
