I know that the result is not too bad. But I'm nonetheless a little disappointed. I scored 710 in my first GMAT Prep before I even started studying.
My score in the second GMAT Prep was 740 after 4 weeks of studying (three days before d-day). I repeated the first test and scored 760 one day before the actual test.
I was quite surprised that my verbal score was much better in every test than my quant score, since I always considered myself strong in math (and am not a native speaker, as you probably figured out already
).
The materials I used:
OG 11
OG Quant
OG Verbal
Kaplan 800 (didn't have time for the math section)
MGMAT SC
I spent around 4 weeks with studying. However I think I took the test a little to easy. One week before the test I spent a long weekend in Prague with my girlfriend and I moved to a new city one day before the test.
Beyond that I think the real test contains much more "logical" questions than there are in OG11/OG Quant/GMAT Prep. By these I mean questions you just know or don't know. I had to guess every second to third questions, because I just didn't know how to attack it.
From what I've read in other posts I will most probably not repeat the test. However, I do not have to decide this yet since I won't start BSchool before 2010.
Thanks to every member of the forum. Although hardly wrote sth. here, I was often reading and enjoying the "I just Beat The GMAT!" stories.
Wish you all the best.
