750 (Q51, V40) (First and Last Attempt) :)

by cans » Fri Oct 14, 2011 2:02 am
I took the GMAT on 13th Oct, I guess one of my lucky days.
Please don't look for Sentence Correction Errors in this post.
750 (Q51 and V40)
750 was my dream score.. and even V40... I was always sure about Q51 though :)
And about the tips and preparation, I am not the one to ask how to study well.. I am not at all disciplined and just go with my intuition.
I studied MGMAT SC and Powerscore CR Bible. Nothing for Quant and nothing for RC.
I haven't even kept a score of my mock tests. The only thing i remember is my first GMAT Prep was 680 and my last MGMAT was 730. I never scored more than 750 in any mock test.

Don't know what to add more apart from Thanks to everyone for helping me. BeattheGMAT always kept me in sync with my GMAT aim :)

Even i was almost sure that you would be scoring Quant in 50 or 51 :-)

Congrats yaar. You deserve this score.. If you remember the tough questions you encountered, pls jott it down.. Btw are you from iit background?.. Can you just tell us if you faced any 'meaning related' SC questions?..

Congrats for the great score. Nice to see some good scores on this forum.

How long did you prepared for GMAT?
Have you done your undergraduate from IIT because you have mentioned that you are very good in quant?

Hey Cans..
Congrats on your score..
Can u pls put down your mock scores and which all mocks you took??
Also, how would you rate a score of 720(Q - 48/V - 40) in Mgmat ??
I got 40 in verbal today but got 12 wrong.. I do feel SC in Mgmat is a bit easy compared to actual gmat.. What's your take on SC of Mgmat...
12 wrong in Verbal in GMAT Prep or Actual GMAT wont allow a person to get 40 in verbal...
