The day has come

by LSB » Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:21 pm
Writing at 8am tomorrow. It's been a horrible three week period. Lots of things I would do differently if I could do it again.

Still have a lot of inconsistencies in my math. I can do some really difficult questions in no time ... but then there are some simple ones I just get stuck on. The scores vary quite a bit as well which really worries me. There's lots of room for improvement in math ... but it's too late for tomorrow's test now.

Target used to be 700. But realistically I can do 680 (on a good day). Just trying to avoid a disaster score in the low 600's really. Either way I will write it again - if not for grad school then for my own ego's sake :-)

Anyhoo - that's it for today. Hitting the Starbucks for an Iced cap and will watch a movie afterwards.

PS this forum is awesome

750 (Q48/V46)

I'm still shaking (just got back from the test center). I have no idea what happened. I have never scored this high. The test was much different than I had expected.

Detailed Review coming soon.

Thanks guys.

Hey pepeprepa - when are you writing? You were my quant idol throughout the last two weeks. Your math is very strong judging by some of the posts. All the best.
