I took the GMAT today and scored a 660 42M 40V
Was extremely disappointed with the Math as I have never in any pratice test scored less than 45/46 and averaged 49+
My post serves two purposes.
1 I want people to learn from my experience.
Verbal has been an issue for me as I am not a native speaker but am an avid reader and practiced hard on the section. I got a 90 percentile and had I gotten my average math sccore I would have clocked 720+.
I made the cardinal mistake in Math. I got back to the test after the break a minute late and got off nervous. To top I never got the moemntum going. Around the 15th question I got stuck on a question which I thought was straightforward but could not solve it. I spent close to 4-5 minutes, which killed my momentum further.
I was a little nervous going to the exam when it comes to the quant becasue lately I was struggling with the questions posted on the forum, so had a low confidence going in.
The lesson I guess is that it is not important that you get every question right, but time yourself and not change from the targets you set.
I will take the test again.
2 I want to get people's advise on what my strategy should be. I need to get 720+.
I do not have a particular weakness in any area but need to be solid on tough questions. I think for me it is a mind frame and I need to prepare hard again.
I am considering the following materials
GMATclub exams.
Manhattan GMAT exams
Can anyone recommend any more pratice for 750 level goal.
Thanks
