Wow! what a debrief. Great job! Congratulations on the mindblowing score. What's your profile? Are you a native English speaker? What was your strategy? Did you solve the complete OG or you did not even do that? :)

All the best for your apps.

I believe it was overconfidence that dipped your score. From your description and practice scores it appears that your preparation was much better than what was reflected in the actual test scores. I also took GMATPrep tests multiple times, the questions do repeat but not so much as to inflate your ...

@gmayreddy - Thanks! I believe two months is a long time. You can definitely work your way up if you are sincere. Identify your weak areas and work on them. Post your doubts in forums, understand concepts and keep practicing.

Yeah, I found the questions in actual exam similar to OG/GMATPrep.

@GMATMadeEasy - Thanks. I spent three minutes reading the passage. Answering questions was easy when I understood the entire passage. My RC strategy was: 1. Read the passage thoroughly with interest. 2. Skip details like names, years etc but remember the location of those details in the passage. 3. ...

740(Q 49, V 41)

Hi, I took my GMAT on 29th June and scored 740(Q 49 V 41). It was my first attempt and am pleasantly surprised with the score. I am not a very organized person and when it came to GMAT preparation, I had no one strategy to follow. I tried a number of different approaches. I started with maintaining ...

IMO:
1 C
(For Strengthen/Weaken questions, strong statements are better).
2 C
(Was confused between C and E but E is basically a reiteration of the fact that the US govt uses cash income before taxes to determine whether the household falls below poverty line).

I'd imagine that most American students would look at this one and pretty quickly see "will" as a noun I agree with that. It is not that I am not aware of the usage of 'will' as 'strong desire' but I just could not see it as a noun when I read it. No wonder, Verbal is the Achilles' heel f...
