Hello people,
Just took my GMAT yesterday.I decided to do so after the following scores on practice CATs:
Gmatprep1: 380 (without any practice, to check where i stand)
MGMAT 1 : 600
MGMAT 2 : 580
MGMAT 3 : 630
MGMAT 4 : 640
MGMAT 5 : 670
Gmatprep 2 : 640
GMAT : 560 (42Q/26V)
I was confident about my quant as i would get 45 on an average. i got an average of 32-33 on the verbal,which was my weak point.But i still thought I knew the matter.Come test day, I was calm.The AWA went decently with a minute to minute-and-a-half of rereading my essays.The quant was not tough and verbal also wasnt tough. But i took up a lot o time onboth the sections and eventually was forced to guess 3-5 questions on each section.The high number of guesses had shaken my confidence up and eventually i though ill cancel my score. I was so disappointed.But I still opted to get my score.I honestly was expecting around 460-480. I got a 560.After aiming for a 700+ and being beaten over by poor timing, I realised that I had to work on my timing.
Im going to retake the test in a month from now.I feel I know the study material decently.Ill surely work more on it.But the most important thing i feel i should work on is timing myself.Although I timed my practice every time, I still managed to mess up my timing on d-day !
Any suggestions?comments?
Realy need all the help i can get.
