GMATPrep...I did this at least 7 times in the last 6 weeks....was my score inflated each time..hell yes...but this is as close to the gmat as one can get!!!
This is all you need to achieve your target score!
TEST DAY - June 4th, 2009
AWA - This was a breeze...Did not over exert myself...just took it easy. My first attempt when I scored a 530..I got 6 for the essays, so did not practice much this time around.
Q - 42
Wow was this ever hard for me. I picked my battles and finished with 1 min. to spare. I quessed (educated) on probably 10 questions, 7 or 8 being DS....DS was killer...thought I bombed Q with like a 37 or so..but the 42 will do...
V - 34
AGAIN...WOW!!!! I feel like i guessed on EVERY SINGLE SC...I felt they all could have been right and found very little errors in the answer choices...this was no where close to GMATPrep....
The CR was fairly easy...I feel I nailed it...
as for RC..1 got 3 short and 1 longggggg and i mean longggg passage...but I took my time and answered them....It was me against the clock as I was left with 3 q's and 3 minutes....guessed on 39 and 40...and then had 2 min with 41
When it came time to report scores, I was 10000% sure I scored less then 530...and I was sooooo damn happy to see the 630 pop up..anything in the 600's and I was happy..heck..even a 590...but a 630 is above cut off and in the middle of the range of my choices so I am pretty confident it will be enough and I do not have to EVER write this damn exam again!
so for all those out there who are not aiming for a 700...just be confident and you can do it!
