Hello all,
First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for this great place. I've been browsing these forums for more than a month now i've learnt a lot. Some of the posts are very encouraging.
Something about me.
Indian / Male / 29 year.
Currently in a Non IT job in an MNC.
background in Quants : Fair (Thanks to Engineering background)
background in Verbals : Poor (If X is the numbers of books (other than academics) i've read in my life, then X < 10
)
Planned test date : 19th Aug 2008.
Today I gave my first GMAT Prep Test 1. I dint write AWAs .
The score : 750 (Q 50 / V 41)
Quants :
There were 5 mistakes, 4 were careless errors. Finished the section with 4 minutes to go. One important thing. I was already familiar with atleast 4-5 questions due to earlier reading of forums. So i dont know if its a good idea to browse through GMATprep questions before actually taking tests. You learn a lot doing it but this may lead to a GMATprep score which is not a true reflection of your abilities. any comments.
Verbals:
11 mistakes. RC - 2 and SC - 9. So i know my weakest area. I think the main reason for SC mistakes is that I'm still trying to solve the question by the way it sounds. I'm yet to develop a logical pattern of solving SC question. Will appreciate inputs. Finished the section with 8 minutes to go.
That's it for now, time to start analysis.
PS 1 : i took a Redbull between the sections and I think it helped.
