I just Beat The GMAT!

My experience with Manya Abroad- Princeton review helped me improve my score from 620 to 650. Although the jump was not too much, it helped me get into the university I wanted. The first time I wrote my GMAT, I got a 620 Q 44, V-29 with 2 months prep. My prep was not a solid amount enough to get a great score. On joining the Princeton Review accelerator course, they provided one on one training for students who have got more than 600 in the actuals or mocks. This helped me focus on my weak areas such as geometry in quant and RC in verbal. My quant teacher, worked with me to get a target quant score of 49 or more. He got to simple shortcuts and methods to improve my speed in quant. For verbal as well both RC and CR were my weaknesses, but my teacher was able to help me structure my reading and elimination.Princeton gave lots of material and online tests. They were also flexible to work around my timings. I was happy with the improvement I was seeing and a week before the test managed to get a 700 score twice via GMAT prep. It was test day and I got a 650 in hand, Q49, V-29. I was happy with Quant but I was surprised with my verbal as I thought I saw massive improvement from the last time and I was also doing well during tests with about V 35. Maybe it was my nerves on test day- I have no idea. I got a 5.5 on AWA and I guess that sort of helped in my application despite the low Verbal score. Ultimately the exam is definitely a mind boggler, but Princeton helped me get into my target school!
