Hey man, thanks for remembering and the well wishes. I, in fact, did not keep calm but it still went just fine! 720 Q49 V38 .95 .89 .84 Things I did right: Pacing was good on both sections. Problem with the verbal: being worse than my math, coming at the end, and not being able to get a good handle ...

T-2 Update!!! I took GMATprep 1 again today. I saw a couple of repeat problems but since it had been so long they were mostly new. 770: GMATprep 1 (51/42) (06/04/08) This is a really nice boost to my confidence. Especially since I maintain focus during the test by assuming that I'm failing =p It hel...

I'm at T-4 days before deadline...similar boat as you! I'm an engineer and don't really have a problem with the underlying principles of the quant section.

Even if you had a par performance the mid 600s ain't too shaby! I was planning on taking a GMATprep official practice C...

finished another practice test: good, bad, and ugly

So, I just finished another practice exam. Please join me in some venting after/related to practice exams. My method for studying consists of doing these regularly to gauge my progress. In between, I focus on the types of problems I got wrong and doing them in the OG. Anyway...my tests have been all...
