First of all I want to say something to all of the people on this forum that don't think their scores above 700 are great- You people are great and your scores are great.

Let me present my practice test scores and you may behold the miracle:

1. Nov. 20 30 33 530
2. Dec. 6 33 37 580
3. Dec. 13 31 35 550
4. Dec. 29 34 36 580

GMAT Prep Software-

2. Jan. 3 40 34 610

Official Test

Jan 7, 2009 44V 44Q 710 TOTAL


Pray really does work. Needless to say I am applying to BYU.

Thats a very impressive improvement dude, especially with the added pressure of the actual exam.

Looks like you kept your cool and did the best you could at the moment when it really mattered. I feel very happy for you and wish you the very best in your applications...Did you feel that the test was easier compared to the GMAT Prep tests ?

Please share more experiences after you settle down...Congrats once again...

It seems like you are good at Verbal section of the test and a little bit of push in Quant can do magics with that verbal score!

WELL DONE!

Congratulations on your great score. Hope the same miracle happens for me too. My scores in practice tests are very similar to yours but a bit low on verbal.

Congrats, man! And yes, miracles do happen! If you believe in them, of course :). So if you aren't a Doubting Tommy, your belief will be rewarded with GMAT points :).
