- GMAT Score:710
Hi folks,
Done with it. While I achieved what I set out to, before I began my preparations, somewhere along the way I got greedy, and not being able to crack the mystery of 750+ scores is a little bit of a disappointment.
But on a whole, happy.
Quant:-
48 on maths was a sin since it always was my strong point. In my opinion, GMAT maths is different than GMAT prep maths both in terms of content and length. I finished the GMATprep quant sections 15 minutes before time, everytime I scored a 48 or a 49. A couple of times I got 50, I could hardly finish the test.
I struggled to finish the test this time too (guessing the last one), and yet got only a 48, and trust me the questions never got easier along the way, atleast as they used to, in GMATPrep. I was actually expecting a 50, but anyways. In my opinion you should consider buying material like GMATFocus etc because I have heard from others that it actually is more GMAT like.
Infact, if I am forced to make this comparison, I would say that it was more MGMAT like than GMATprep like.
English :-
On the contrary, I found the verbal easier as compared to GMATprep. I am doing the comparison with verbal on GMATprep in which I scored a 38. The SC especially was very easy and straight forward. To be frank, if this one is to go by, O.G and MGMAT appear to be enough for the SC practice, for a mid 30 plus verbal score, IMO. RC and CR were also O.G types.
My sincere thanks to the creators of this forum, forum mates such as Logitech, Karmayogi, Cramya, Mals24, Raunekk and others. And, would also like to thank Stuart, Ian, Stacey and Ron for their great posts.
Just listing my GMAT prep scores for the time being:-
GMATPrep1 :- 700 ( Feb second week)
GMATPrep2 :- 700 ( March 3rd week)
GMATPrep1 :- 710 ( 4 days before the exam)
GMATPrep2:- Q50 ( 2 days before the exam)
Would get back with a few more tips that I think helped me improve and could possibly help others too.
Thanks
Cheers
