Just came from the test center and my wife is waiting for me to go for lunch so I'll try to be brief. The results are in: Q: 49 (89%) V:34 (70%) total 670 (87%). I wanted to thank Eric, Stacy, and Mayonnai5e for your help. I do not feel disappointed because I think the test results are a good indicator of where my skill level is at.
I am an engineer from South America with a fairy tale life story , was born and raised in the slums of a 3rd world country (where all my family still lives), first in my family of 7 to go to college, learned English in my late teens, came to the US as an exchange student, graduated with honors, and now I work in Corporate America. I am trying not to feel sad but F*ck.. I felt I had it. The essay topics were easy. The math was relatively easy at first but around question 17-20 it became much harder. I did get a couple of probability questions and several tough algebraic problems.
On my second break I ate a banana (not a good idea) and went back in. I felt very uneasy throughout the verbal section. The problems were hard. They felt much harder than OG11. My pace was way off and I had to really hurry in the last 15 questions. I think that to improve my verbal I would have to shake things up. Maybe the LSAT verbal can help me. I am still debating whether to take the test a second time. Any advice Stacy?
PS I know the percentile table changes but I have seen people with identical scores to mine ,who took the test less than a month ago, but with a final score of 690 (90% percentile). I still hoping the GMAC made a mistake (the latter is a joke:))
