I have been mostly silent on this group, but an active reader to the posts by some of the best contributors. Reading the posts motivated me a lot to go beyond 700, but unfortunately it quiet did not happen for me this time.
I took the GMAT yesterday, and could make it to 690( 48Q, 36 V) which is less that what I got an year and a half back 700 ( 50Q, 36V). I particularly targeted the verbal part this time around, and spent a lot of time on improving my CR and RC capabilities. And though I got comfortable enough with 80% accuracy on the GMAT prep RCs and MGMAT RCs, to my surprise it was probably very deceptive since I still stand at the same level as I was an year back. I am not sure if a bug that hit me few days before the exam can be held responsible for my less than optimal performance in the exam, but I did not feel much of my fever or weakness during the exam.
I could hit a MGMAT CAT score of 780 in practice test atleast 2 out of the 6 times and stayed above 700 in all of them - though I took some extra time in some of them. On my last GMAT Prep CAT 2 I scored 730 and on the repeat take of GMAT prep CAT2 - 770. Hence, I was very surprised when I could not even make it to 700 mark on the actual test this time.
I am open to the feedback and suggestions from experts and community members on whether you think I should be retrying, and whether there is something very obvious that I have missed in last few months of my preparation.
Thanks.
