680 V38 Q45

680 V38 Q45

I am more or less pleased with my score. I am happy in that 680 is higher than any of my practice tests. I might have scored higher on the Q in one test or V in another, but never really put it all together. I am a little bitter though. During the test, all the power in the center went out and shut off all the computers (During Quant). The staff was able to log me back in pretty quickly, but I definitely lost a few minutes because of this (2-4 minutes). I also ran out of space on the noteboard during the Quant, and the proctor wasn't in the window/ room so I couldn't signal and get a new one promptly. So, I think that it's very possible that I could have scored in the 700 range if it wasn't for these mishaps. Ill probably retake the GMAT but it's nice having a pretty solid score in my back pocket.

So here are the materials I used:
Princeton Review Class
OG 11&12 and Purple Verbal book
MGMAT Sentence Correction and Number Properties
Tests: GMATPrep, PR, and Manhattan.

I think that if I take it again, I would really bone up on Sentence Correction and Number Properties. It seemed like 80% of the math questions I got were number property type problems. This test is beatable, no question.
