Hello Everyone
Prepared for a month and gave my GMAT today.Score a 660 (Q48, V33). Here are my previous practice scores:
GMATPrep1: 710
GMATPrep2: 720 (After a month of preparation)
MGMAT CAT 2: 690
MGMAT CAT 3: 670
MGMAT CAT 4: 640
MGMAT CAT 5: 680
Veritas Free CAT : 700
Kaplan Premier CAT's: 700-720 Range
As you can see , I was so positive a 700+ show that I can't believe what happened on the test day!
Quant:
Started a little slow , was doing nicely till about 30th question , then I realized I was short of time. Had to run through last 5 questions. THIS NEVER HAPPENED in my CATs. So I realized while doing those last 5 questions that I had screwed my quant and in turn couldn't focus on the questions. Just for everyone's information , I got Q49 and Q50 on my GMATPrep's , and Q47-48 on all my MGMAT's all through. So I was confident of a Q50 on the test day. But scored a Q48. Not sure , a case of over confidence , or complete time mismanagement. Missed my target score by 2 points.
Verbal:
Handled time amazingly well since I learnt my lessons from Quant experience. Finished the test 3 mins before the end of time and scored a V33 . I was consistently score a 35+ on my GMATPrep's as well as MGMAT's. So missed my target score my 3 points on test day.
2 points on Quant and 3 points on Verbal and missed my 700+ target score
So I will be preparing for a month again and will give my GMAT again in September mid. I have two questions for everyone here:
My target score is 700+ , so:
1. Since I have exhausted GMATPrep and MGMAT's already , what CAT's should I practice for the next 1 month of preparation? And I have done OG twice , which other books/online material should I refer?
2. Am I safe applying to schools if I give my GMAT in mid September? I see most of the deadlines start in September. My target schools are
Kellogs
MIT Sloan
INSEAD
Columbia Business School
NY Stern
Awaiting for all your suggestions. Need to get that 700+ in a month anyhow!!
Thanks![/list]
