640 (q42,v35). ouch, i got beat bad. not the end of the world though -- a lot to learn from and improve on. totally ran out of steam on verbal; i am capable of better than a 35. a test re-take it is and the never ending journey of gmating continues! FML

Sorry to hear. But, my 2 cents -- get back in that test center the earliest you can. But this time around, don't take a CAT a week out of the test, and concentrate on being as well rested and clear headed as you can be going into D day. Trust in yourself, and I would predict you're cruising your way...

Rich: excellent advice; I think you better identified and described what I'm going through -- how can I stop working hard, after 550 hours, just moments prior to the big test? The short answer is, I can't. I must mentally prepare myself for battle; be laser focused, sleeves rolled, and ready to dig ...

Is this normal?! My test is on Tuesday (9/10)...
After 550+ hours of study (since Jan 2013), countless number of OG questions, several practice CATs, etc. -- I am finally taking the test for the first time on Tuesday, 9/10. And I'm finding myself letting go and not caring anymore!! Is this normal? I think I'm cracking under the pressure. The odd t...

sorry to hear about your experience. this story is familiar to me, as a close friend of mine went through the exact same experience several years back: he scored 660 without too much prep. then he hired a private tutor, did everything right, and scored a 600 in his second attempt. what he did (not s...

For what its worth, I have a friend, also half japanese half American, who graduated from lauder, and in her experience, it was...
