Gave GMAT on friday and scored 710
First of all, I would like to thank all the people that contribute regularly to this website. I’ve been a passive member for the past several months and have found the explanations truly helpful – the success stories truly inspiring.
This is my third attempt- In my first attempt I scored a 520, the second a 670 and finally 710.
Even though I had worked hard for 4 months before my first attempt, I panicked in the exam and had to randomly guess on a number of quant and verbal problems and ended up with a 520. It was very disappointing. I decided not to give up after reading some truly inspirational stories in this website and gave my second attempt after a month’s break and ended up with a 670. But I was certain that with a little more practice I could break the 700 mark. So studied for another month and finally gave my test last Friday.
I know getting 710 in the third attempt may not be a great thing, but for me it’s great after the first disaster.
Books/Reference Material:
1) Official guide -11 and 12
2) Manhattan Sentence correction
3) Power score Bible
4) Kaplan 800
Practice test:
1)Mgmat Tests
2) Kaplan CD tests
3)GMAT prep- A must do. The GMAT prep exams are the key, I would advise to take them multiple times, since the questions in real exam are pretty similar to ones in GMAT prep
So for all those out there each of you can definitely Beat the GMAT. Don’t give up.
All the best for future aspirants.
