720 Q49 V38

by Mentacow82 » Tue Aug 09, 2011 9:31 pm
Just took the test today and beat my mark of 700. My verbal score is actually more of a surprise than my quant score. I find math on the test to be easier for this test, although I know that I will probably get 2 ds questions wrong. Going through verbal I feel lost most of the time, I take it one question at a time and can narrow it down to two. The biggest thing I can take from the practice tests are you can get several questions wrong and still get a good score. I was getting 7 wrong out of 37 in math and coming in at 50 and I know i got a lot more wrong in Verbal. This gave me confidence when taking the test that I knew I was going to get more than a few wrong in Verbal, but if I just get 2,3 or 4 more right(was getting 12 to 15 wrong in practice tests) it can bring up my score a good amount. I got a 32, 33, and 34 in verbal practice tests and was coming in at 690(Q 50). So i was relaxed for the verbal part, although somewhat painful going through it, and somewhat luckily managed to get 38 bringing up my score 30 points.
