I've been using this forum since my buddy mentioned it in October. After reading all of the "Just beat the GMAT" posts and hearing the relief from the authors, I couldn't wait to make my own post. Finally, after 2.5 months of studying, the GMAT was conquered to the tune of a 710.
My target score was anything over 700 so I was beyond pleased. However, I had been typically scoring between 40-44 in verbal, but 44-46 in Quant. Needless to say, I'll take the trade-off, and my 710, and leave a happy man.
Tip of the hat to: myself (ha! A lot of thankless studying is finally addressed!), my two buddies who gave me a quant crash course 4 days before G-day and this forum. Whether it was motivation, strategy help, or useful articles, this site was an incredible ally. Thanks all!
