I just Beat The GMAT!

Congratulations on your score. How did you find the SC on the GMAT? Some have commented that they got as many as 7-8 SC questions that have no splits, and where the entire passage or a large part of it is under lined. How do you think GMAT SC compares to MGMAT SC (CAT) and GMAT PREP.

Hi Vom,

I encountered 3-4 fully underlined SC questions. In my first two attempts I could not make a head or tail of the SC question, but surprisingly this time not many SC questions baffled me. The probable reason - In my last 20 days of prep I solved ONLY official questions. So if you are in your final stages of prep, then I would suggest you to stick to only official questions. Two more observations :

1. ONLY idiom was not tested in any question.So you may skip the idiom chapter of Manhattan.
2. People say that lot of emphasis is given on "meaning" these days......I did not feel so.

Hey congrats.

Please throw some light on the GMAT day IR experience. How difficult were the questions, how many you could get a shot at, MSR difficulty etc.

Thanks

Hi Saunak,

IR was similar to the GMAT Prep mock. So no surprise element here. MSR is the only one which I couldn't solve confidently.But as you can see I only scored 5 which means that I got many wrong. In four of my GMAT prep mocks I got 5 twice and 7 twice.

So if you are scoring 5 or above in your mocks....you do not need to spend much time on IR during your prep.

Thanks, I take my test on the 26th, So far my CR and RC accuracy is 85+% in GMAT PREP and MGMAT, but my SC in MGMAT is around 70%...

Congrats! Well done.
