This was my second attempt and i scored a 700 (Q-48, V-38). My first attempt was 640. I am pretty happy with my score! :) I just had 2 weeks to prepare.

Some things that really helped me were:

1. The Beat The Gmat Forum and the daily math question.
2. Grockit.com- This is a really good site. Gives u really accurate statistics about your skill. I did not need to do any error logging.


I usually scored around 630-660 during the initial days. Towards the end I gave Kaplan and scored 560! :(

The last day I gave powerprep and scored 730! One advice, do not give kaplan before your exam. It might demotivate you.

On the exam day:

I carried a can of red bull and dairy milk! I had half a bar after the AWA sections and the other half after Math.

This really helped me stay fresh during the entire duration of the exam. I strongly recommend all of you to carry chocolates with you.

All the best for your prep! :)

Thank you BTG!
