I love stories when people post on here right before taking the exam and then post right after... it's like I'm living it with them...

Congratulations again bud!

I'd like to carry some champagne and pop it open once i'm done!! I just hope to get done with the GMAT this time..keeping my fingers crossed :)

lol - popping champagne sounds like a plan! CONGRATULATIONS on the awesome score!! :-)

Hi folks,
I am also preparing for my exam this year. Right now only focusing on KAPLAN and OG for my study.

NIXBTG, very well done man. 760 is very impressive.

Can you please guide me and other folks as well, please share you strategy, study material you used etc.

Congratulations again!!!

Hi Nix,
did the strategy of taking a GMAT prep every day for the last 4 days as a run up to the exam work for you?
Do you have any more pointers on which tests should i take during the last 4 days of my prep? my exam is scheduled for 2nd June.
would be really happy if you could help!!

Cheers,
Pdgmat2010

I did the AWA section for the first time, scored 750(v40 q50). I did see a few repeats in quant. I'm not feelng too good despite the score. Didn't feel like I was in control of the test during the verbal section. I guess it's the anxiety and it seems to kill my SC. I struggle to read actively and spot errors. Any tips on how I can get around this and read actively.

Also, I need some advice on keeping time. I'm able to finish both sections comfortably, however I'm looking for a strategy to efficiently keep track of time. How frequently should I look at the clock? I find it distracting :(

I have 3 days to go..plan to take the GMATprep from here on every day and revise OG. SC Qs make me really nervous..there are days when I can really break the sentence down and spot the errors and there are days when I read a sentence and have no clue what I just read.

Thanks again everyone! This forum rocks thanks to you guys :)

Cheers,

Nix
