Hey all,
I took the GMAT today and was shocked to see that I did so horribly. From CATs, the lowest I had ever scored was 690. I was seeking a range of 740+ for my score prior to the test as My Quant was more often a 51 than a 50 and my verbal was in the low 40s.
I had scored 730, 740, 690,690, 780, 750 on the Manhattan CATs, 710 and 720 on the GMATPrep.
Nonetheless, something definitely hindered my performance today. Quants was really easy initially but my 14-20 Q's were data sufficiency of either high difficulty or nonsensical.
The drag of these 5-6 questions(20minutes spent on these, I finished the first 13/14 in 25mins) left me with about 30 to do the final 17.
I finished but rushed toward the end. If anyone can solve or infer what approach I ought to take for these problem, I'd greatly appreciate it.
For the Verbal part, I started really confident but once again, I feel RC has failed me. I was spending too much time on it and thought I arrived to the solution and most probably not. The same for SC and CR, these two areas I was hitting 80%+ for them so careless mistakes and lack on concentration ignited the decline.
I had RCs on a Saturn moon, legalization in unions, dialects in South East Asia, and a hunter and gatherers passage.
Any questions you may have, feel free to ask.
I am aware that I am writing in the wrong section of this forum. I intend to keep it here as a remainder that I will beat the GMAT next month and will repost in this forum rightfully so.
Even Ray Allen has his donut shooting days, so this will not stop me from attaining that 99%ile score.
Thank you all for reading and any suggestions that you may have for me in the upcoming 20+ days, please advise so.
Thank you and have a great day!
