This is a very short summary:
scored 720 on the day (Q51 V35). In the run up to the test was scoring consistently above 750. Was expecting a 750+ score, but boy that verbal thing just knocked me down and I was literally gasping for oxygen. and the worst part is you can never tell where exactly you faltered and what were the gaps in your preparation. Not gutted. I'm quite indifferent in fact to the score ( I have no clue why !), probably because I know I have time and I can do better. Its just a matter of getting back to the drawing board and analyzing what different I can do on the test. Meanwhile, if you have a few suggestions, on how I cannot bomb the verbal again, please let me know.
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me on this forum.
I always visualized writing a great debrief. That kept me going. That was my biggest inspiration. This is anything but what I imagined.
I'm signing off to come back later and update this post.
