Hy all,
Last week I took my GMAT and I scored 650. It should be enough to the business school I will be applying to.
Nonetheless, I want to express my opinion on the GMAT and Native Speakers. I scored 38V which ranked me in the 83% percentile. That means that I am in the top 83% regarding my verbal capabilities to understand coherently english.
Therefore, I am scoring higher than native english speakers. How could it be so?. For me, being not-native speaker of english, though a proficient one, it is a always a challenge to discover new english words and to understand the meaning of awkward sentences. I simply can not understand how can I score higher than native english speakers.
Believe me, if the test would be taken in my language (spanish) I wouldn't have needed so much more effort for the verbal part of the test. Same applies to french, german, indian or chinese test-takers.
English native speakers, you should be very ashamed of someone being non-native, being capable to beat you in your own language.
Here it is a useful link for spanish test-takers:

Another concern I have is connected with the correction of Princeton Review AWAs. After purchasing the tests, I was struggling all the time to get anything higher than 4 in the AWA section according Princeton graders.
Nonetheless, I got a 6.0 in my AWA in the real test. I think they are trying to fool people, telling them that they are getting a lower score than they actually have, therefore propelling them to purchase more and more Princeton online review services.
