I just Beat The GMAT!

So this was my third trip into the testing center...scored a 470 first time cold turkey...did a month and a half of solid practice, scored a 450. Frustrated, I decided to take it again this month in time for admissions, but really slacked off on preparation (Didn't touch a book for three weeks barely). Took it today, felt like I guessed on several questions, hit the report scores button, closed my eyes, opened them to see 630 on the screen. Still a bit shocked!

Quant felt worse, I was on the last 6 questions or so and was still getting integer problems. Verbal felt much harder though, but I knew I was doing well on it - ended up in the 92nd percentile.

Thanks for letting me lurk around here and gain some insight everyone!

dont you love it when you score higher when you study less? I too slacked off in my studies the 2nd time around a few days ago after my 1st attempt on sept 25 (didn't touch quant for a month... did about 4 hours total verbal in the 2 weeks before the exam).

Good luck with apps.. I am finding that essays and getting things organized is more difficult than the exam..

I think some of it has to do with being more relaxed and knowing what your facing as well. Congrats buddy.

That's an amazing increase in your score, your verbal score is terrific!
I guess its all about the actual GMAT day, innit?
