The 10 Best GMAT Stories of 2009 – Number 9

by Beat The GMAT, Dec 18, 2009

For ten days I will be highlighting the most popular GMAT debriefings of 2009 from the Beat The GMAT community, in countdown fashion.

The ninth most popular GMAT story this year was written byZ_I: Time to kiss GMAT goodbye! 660 to 750. I thought that this was one of the more humorous GMAT stories submitted in 2009. I love how Z_I starts off his debriefing by framing his GMAT studies like an on-again, off-again relationship:

GMAT and I first started seeing each other 8 years ago. After a short fiery relationship that lasted for 3 months, I broke up with her on test day. I got a 660 (Q49:V33). After that I never called her again until 2007. I finally managed the courage to get in touch with her. I even booked a date with her but I just did not prepare myself enough to meet her. So I stood her up! (yeah, I was a no show). Anyways, having learned my lesson I was determined to part ways with her, this time for forever, but with fond memories. And guess what? We made it through! I'm never going to see her again, but I will always be fond of her. And I'm amused by the sadness that I felt putting away the books and the prep material. Guess I had started enjoying locking my horns with the test!!!
