Congrats for your score and thanks for the debrief.

During your study what were your success rates for OG questions? like CR %80 SC 85?

What is your background? Is English your native lang, etc...

Thanks in advance again..

I did Kaplan CD test.

Didn't prapare much for Quant. I am engineering grad. so felt confident that i can do with out much preparation.

English is not my native language...MY sucess rate was around 70 % in OG first time. I used Manhattan SC and it helps me to increase my accuracy. SC was always difficult for me. RC and CR were ok for me.

My advice is to have a good plan and confidence in your ability. GMAT test is about your performance under pressure. It works for me. You just have to pick approach works best for you.
