Hii all,
I have been a silent observer on beat the gmat from last 45 days and have gained a lot. I gave my GMAT exam for the first time on August, 1st 2014 and wanted to write a debrief of my experience.
Work Experience: - 2 years as a software developer

Education: -
Bachelor of Tech. with a GPA of 3.7 (India)

I started studying 45 days back strictly focusing on verbal.. Quant has been my strong point so gave only 10 days to it and moved on. For verbal, I focused on MGMAT guides, OG 13 and forums. I followed the 60 day guide of beat the gmat and that definitely sketched a plan out for me.
After 45 days of hardwork, i got d scorecard today
GMAT Q 51 V 35 IR 8...

I am happy with score and its time to start filling the essays.. (deadlines are near:P)

HI karisc,

That's great news about your score. With a 710/Q51, you're in position to apply anywhere. What schools are you planning to apply to?

You mentioned starting at a 650; was that on a practice CAT or a prior Official GMAT?
