I just Beat The GMAT!

I took the GMAT this morning and scored a 730. Here's my breakdown:

Quantitative 47 (81%)
Verbal 44 (97%)
Total 730 (96%)

I was surprised because I just graduated in electrical engineering and based on my practice tests I felt I was stronger in quant than verball. The results of my practice tests were as follows:

GMATPREP1: 49 40 730
GMATPREP2: 49 41 730

I would like to claim that I put a ton of hard work into preparation and used a ton of strategies but I only prepared for two weeks. This was mainly because I'll be starting a strenuous job soon and wanted to take the exam before I got too involved with my work. I worked hard during my undergraduate education and I'm assuming that is what led to my success.

For preparation I went through all of the SC questions in OG11 because that's where I struggled the most. I also did the last 50 questions in the other sections.

I used this forum for advice over the past few days and I wanted to thank everyone for their help. I plan on using this site for advice when I apply for my MBA as well.

Hi Ryanb612,

Did you find the questions on the actual GMAT to be just like those found in the Official Guide? I fear walking in on test day and not recognizing any questions because they don't like the ones in the official guide.

The questions on the actual GMAT were similar to those in OG11. However, I felt that the quantitative section was harder on the actual test than the two GMATPREP tests.

Thanks! I kind of thought they would be similar to those in the OG.
