Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that you had to miss seven minutes of the verbal section :(. It sounds like you did prepare well. I hope that second time is the charm and you go forth and smash it to bits when you retake!!! Lol...I am going skiing the weekend before my GMAT (and I take it on a Monday morning...two weeks from today, actually). Your story has reminded me to not break my leg that weekend :-P

Good luck getting back on the study wagon.

Next time I'm gonna take the exam in a different place where none of my friends/cousins live. Not that it was their mistake. Just that seeing them after a long time made me forget the actual purpose...

What should be my study plan here on? Should I revise all the books I have mentioned above, again? Anything else I can add to the list?

And more importantly should I focus on verbal more or maintain a balance between the Quants and Verbal? I didn't find the Quants any easier yesterday. I did guess for some questions...
