GMAT Score:700
by InkyBinky » Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:13 am
My test is this Saturday at noon. I just took GMAT Prep Test 2/Attempt 2 and scored 760 (50Q/42V). My GMAT Prep Test 2 first attempt was a month ago and I scored 750 (49Q/44V). Needless to say, this shifts my last-minute apprehension to excitement as I think I'm in a pretty good zone.

Since I think I'm at my quant apogee, I'm going to focus strictly on verbal tonight and tomorrow (I'm taking Friday off), with perhaps a cursory glance at MGMAT's number properties. I missed 6 on the GMAT Prep verbal questions just now and four of them were sentence correction (1 CR and 1 RC), so I think if I focus on refreshing the rules in my head, I might be able to maintain that score or even slightly improve it...I hope.

Does anybody have any last-minute tips? Like maybe a couple shots of whiskey before the test?

Save the whiskey for saturday night, coupled with some shots as well ;) jk..

760 looks pretty good dude. Im sure you'll rock it! Good Luck!!
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Don't waste energy on AWA, and don't dwell on earlier questions!
Yep.

Is AWA that easy? Or maybe it is for native speakers?

I didn't mean to say that AWA is easy, but rather that you should have a clear idea how you are going to write the essays. I recommend approaching AWA almost like approaching a blog, write it leisurely.
Yep.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. I was also planning on applying templates to cut down on any thinking as far as AWA organization goes. Do you think the AWA templates are generally effective?

Good luck InkyBinky!

If this is your first time taking the test, you might enjoy this article about GMAT test-day, minute by minute, to give you a specific outline of test-day!

Absolutely. I think you'll do fine in AWA if you follow such templates.
Yep.

I just read through that. So either verbal or quant can come first? I didn't know that. Every practice test I've taken has quant followed by verbal. Good to know...

Wait what, where did you read that? The structure of GMAT is set and everyone gets the same structure.
Yep.

#8 in the list that he linked above reads "You cannot know which section will come first on the GMAT, but you will have 75 minutes either way."

Is this not the case? I had always assumed that quant came first.

I don't think so, maybe he meant something else entirely...

Sorry about that - that was an error on our end that was supposed to have been fixed long ago! The quant section DOES always come first.

Again, sorry for the confusion (and once more, good luck on the test!)
