Hi All,
I have been following threads regularly on BTG for past 2 months. I took the test yesterday and scored a lowly 660. But that doesn't mean that I have given up. In fact, I am ready to make amends already.
GMAT experience: Well, to be really honest I was very well prepared. I was confident but when the exam started I could feel the moment get to me but it lasted only about 10 minutes. Since I was writing AWA that time I was not affected too much. After that I could settle into my usual rhythm. Essays were pretty straight forward. Quant was similar to GMAT prep and OG. I could identify the traps in most of the questions. I however, made three silly mistakes and that I think made the difference between I scoring 50 or above in quant. Verbal was again very similar to GMAT prep. SC was similar to OG , CR was tricky with many complete the argument questions. RC passages were easy to comprehend but the answer options were very close and I was normally stuck between two options.
