Folks,

Took GMAT today and scored 690 (Q48, V36).
Tad disappointed with my Quant score coz I have been scoring Q50s consistently :(
This was my 3rd attempt. My journey has been from 570 --> 590 --> 690.

Great score! I understand what you're going through as my verbal was lower than it had been in practice tests. I would take a 690 and RUN! ...Especially after 3 rounds. Good luck with your apps.

Dude, you really have done great. This is a big leap and you deserve Kudos. Do you mind sharing your practice test scores and how you prepared for the exam?
