Hello to the awesome folks on this forum and a big thanks to the people who run this site!
I finally took my GMAT today and scored a 750 (Q50, V41).
Although this is the first time I am posting on this site, I have benefitted tremendously from reading the postings here.
I am hoping to post my "detailed brief" (isn't that an oxymoron?) some time soon, but wanted to say something about the exam itself. GMAT is the best exam I have ever taken. The quality of the questions, both in quant and verbal, left me speechless and humbled. I can't say the same about the other preparation tests that I took (apart from GMATPrep) before that exam. I didn't see a question on the GMAT quant that would have taken anyone with average IQ more than 2 minutes to solve if they knew how to solve it. In contrast, the prep tests had quite a few questions that didn't meet that criterion.
Even though Manhattan GMAT has really good tests and I will still recommend them, I didn't find the scores representative of the true score at all. In my case to my utter frustration, I didn't score more than 670 in any MGMAT (took only three). In effect I scored at least +80 in the real GMAT. I do generally perform better under pressure, but that can't explain a minimum difference of 80 points.
In my judgement, if you are able to score above 650 in MGMAT tests, you are well set for 700+ score, just make sure you don't slip up on G day.
