my prep experience...

sry guys had to take a break between my the posts. here goes my story.

on 16th of june bought gmat books.
gave a gmat prep ,got 550.
started with quants.every Q took me more then 5 minutes.did the whole book once and then twice.thankfully,on my second attempt at the Q's i was faster.i never saw the answers of the Q's i got right(a mistake).
gave mgmat got 660.
in week two did english.religiously,solved the og and manhattan sc book.
in week 3 and 4 went out of station. hardly studied anything.
in week 5 came back solved ogs,manhattan sc again,manhattan turbo charge again and did manhattan Q bank. along with all this did one mgmat daily and scored an average of 650.
on 25 th july,i.e,2 days before my exam i got a 640 on gmat prep.got utterly devasted. felt like a loser.i had studied so much and was still getting just a 650.so cried the whole day.my friend consoled me and told me to chill out.I spent the next days in the mall.doing nothing except shopping. well actually in this time i was thinking what am i doing wrong?
so this i found out.....a)i wasnt unable to keep concentration till end of exam b)i need to have disaster planning for math section

for concentration i took red bull(energy drink) on exam day and for disaster planning i just kept my mind chill.
:):)
