Finally done with the GMAT! - 690

Thanks to everbody on this site. I have been a silent member for the last couple months & just took the GMAT exam this morning and scored a 690.

As Eric suggested, I used the OG, PR & Kaplan books. I also used Eric's flashcards & Sahil's grammar notes while creating my own notes. I personally think that OG helped the most. I also took the GMATPrep exams and scored between 650 to 720.

The reason I didnt expect 690 was I had a brain fart after the 1st 10 minutes in the Quant section. I was running very behind on time & had to get through a lot of the end questions. I strongly agree that the 1st 10 questions or so matter the most, I had 13-15 minutes left to go with about 10 questons (incuding a couple of probability questions). I did much better in verbal than expected.

I started studying in mid feb but very seriously since the past month or so. Weekend were only used for studying.

Thanks again to everyone & best of luck!
