6 days to go before I take the gmat officially... i finally took the first gmatprep practice test this morning, and boy was i freaked out when i had 1 min to go in quant w/ 9 questions left. i guessed on all of them (all incorrect), and moved onto verbal. at this point i was pretty devastated, so i got a bowl of ice cream during the break and finished the test munching on pistachio bits. i finished the verbal section (my weaker section) w/ about 15 min to go, intuitively picking the first answer that looked correct. needless to say, i was pretty surprised that the program spit out a 750 (49q 44v).

wtf..?

sweet! 8)

Note to self: pack some pistachio and ice cream to snack on during the break instead of the power bar that I was planning to take to the test center.

Thanks a bunch! You are a natural.

I'm with givemeanid on the pistachio and ice cream plan. :) By my reckoning, you should have taken the real thing by now. How'd it go?
