720 Q 50 V 38 - Cracking GMAT in 3 weeks

by 85kk » Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:43 pm
I gave my GMAT in Singapore at Pearson Centre a couple of days ago. I was expecting 750+ if not for the rather inconsiderate behavior by an irate test taker who after receiving her scores, threw a fit which distracted my concentration for the last 6 Q's . I lost time and had to guess a good number of them. This i believe contributed to my lower than expected verbal score.

More detail debrief on Quant and Verbal strategy in my next post.

My nugget of wisdom about GMAT is that.. GMAT is a Reasoning exam not a solving exam.. IF you can reason out a question you will crack the GMAT. So when you approach a DS or Sentence correction, Dont try to solve, try understand the context, the data, Reason out the mistake, more often than not, you will easily solve the question
