I beat the GMAT, scored 710 (Q49, V38)

Hi

I am satisfied with my score, because it is very comptetitive in any business school. I felt very nervous during the exam and managed my time poorly: I rushed through the first questions and had plenty of time left for the later questions (especially in quant section in which I had 30 mins for 10 last questions). I felt that I did poorly and did not even want to take a look at the score report. However, when I saw the score I was surprised to see that I have breaken the 700 barrier.

Quant section had some tremendously easy questions as well as very hard ones. The toughest questions in verbal were sentence correction questions, at least for me (even though I used MGMAT SC for preparation). Critical reasoning was OK, reading comprehension had some very easy passages as well as one very tough short social sciences passage with many complex words and ideas.

I used OG ja MGMAT materials for preparation. I guess those materials are all that one needs to achieve a good score.

Overall, I am happy that I achieved 710.

Good look to You,
Tauno

Great Score there. Congrats.. can you talk a bit about your preparation.. How long, how did you approach, did you take any practice tests, if so what and how much did you score etc. It would be really helpful for ppl who are prepping..

Thanks and all the very best for your apps..
