Very painful - 680 (Q 50 V 31)
Woke up in the morning at 10 am and simply went for a short run and a swim. Had a light breakfast and a shot of redbull and i was set for the battle at 4 pm.
Went with an air of confidence feeling good I walk into the test center at 3 pm. Flirted with the test center supervisor and got her number(asian girl short and petite my types !). I started my test earlier. AWA was a breeze as I can spew BS with ease. Then came Quant. The first ten questions created a beautiful bubble around me. None of the questions looked out of ordinary. Then I saw a sphere related question aspent 7 minutes on it and finally got what I needed. Then i read the question again and felt stupid. The question did not care about what I had gotten but was concerned about something else. I wont get into details of this question at all but I was so embarrassed at myself at that point for having wasted time on finding something which was not required. DUH!! I moved on with that and eventually finished quant on time. I am sure there were two or three silly mistakes as usual which I do not think I can avoid in this lifetime. But I felt so relieved when quant was done!!. Verbal started well
I was careful with verbal until the 14th question. RC was long and for some odd reason my brain refused to process long passages from that point. It was downhill. None of the RCs or CRs made sense to me beyond that point and I could only use the remaining energy I had on SC. By the time I was in my 30th question in Verbal I had exhausted a lot of time and had to restrict my time to 45 seconds per question. Thats it, verbal bombed. I was exasperated, emotionally and mentally. I lost the battle in the end. Verbal burst my bubble.
I am inherently weak in verbal. All the poems and song lyrics I write means nothing. GMAT verbal is a different experience. Never really scored above 41 in verbal. So the worse was expected. I want a paradigm shift in my approach to verbal. I want to get past the 40 threshold and I will do whatever it takes to get there in the next month.
Right now I am broken beat and scarred ! The only relief that day was the phone number of the asian girl I got. But i doubt that would work out after she saw my body language after the test. She saw her superman before the test turn into grinch after the test and walk away.
