Hey all,

I've been on these forums for four months. I'm from North America and a native tongue speaker. Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.

(I forgot my username and password when I switched computers, thus why only a recent add date)

Studied using:
OG11
MGMAT (all books but RC)
1000SC

Diagnostic exam was 480.

Two weeks before the exam, I decided to take my first practice GMAT exam.
MGMAT CAT 1: 520
MGMAT CAT 2 : 550
MGMAT CAT 3 : 640
MGMAT CAT 4 : 630
MGMAT CAT 5 : 590
MGMAT CAT 6 : 590

Then I decided to take the GMAC free exams...
Free Exam 1 : 620
Free Exam 2 : 590

Studying strategy was all over the place as my work hours are pretty ridiculous. I did 40Q and 40V questions a day and reviewed them the next day (maybe not the most efficient). The four days leading up to the exam, I did everything in routine that I would on test day (wake up early, breakfast etc).

All in all, thank you for all the help on the forums! Couldn't have done it without all of you guys!
