Fantastic achievement though. 740 is more than enough to get into any top b school.
Ya ... its so vague and indefinite . I know someone who got a 51Q and 40 V get 750 and people say Gmac has started weighing Verbal more than Quant.
Congrats Munda,

Actually Q49 is like 90%ile and Q51 is 98% ile or even 99.9% ile (you don't know exactly as Q51 is the maximum score). So Q49 to Q51 is a high gain area, so are leaving a lot of smart people behind.

Hi Could you please change the name.
Smart is just a static term . I did manage 51 in MGmats . I had an OCD attack during Quant.

But you cant ever be comfortable enough cos i remember there was a lot of things that i could still have done . I didnt execute my strategy well enough . as they say, there is many a slip between the lip and the cup .

Great score dude. Nice debrief, seems you had personally achieved a lot by GMAT. Congrats and all the best for your apps.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

The ideal situation is when you cherish the journey irrespective of the goal. In My case , it isnt so. It was a real $%^&
