Hi,

I just took the GMAT today and got a 740! I am relieved... I am just relieved that this whole process of preparing for the test is over!

Here were my practice scores:

Princeton I 650
Princeton II 690
Princeton III 650
Princeton IV 700
GMAT I 750
GMAT II 760


Just a word of advice here..the GMAT review tests are the closest to the real test.

Only that I found Quants section to be more tougher on the actual exam than in any review test. Expect questions in Quants to be as tough as the last few in the General Review book in the math sections. The questions are of similar patterns but even more tough.

Verbal section was relatively easy for me. They are probably of the same level of difficulty as the review tests.

Good luck all of ya with your preparations!

Dilipbobby,

I believe that you got all you need!

"SC,OG, anf gmat prep and spidey;s notes., LSAT CR and LSAT RC"

I think the question would be how Rakhi studied and how he performed on the test.
