Was it luck? need advice please

by Jondi » Fri Aug 26, 2011 2:35 pm
Need advice guys, i got 610 48Q/25V few weeks ago, I am not particularly good in anything, but drinking, although very ambitions and stubborn. During practice tests (official GMAT and Kaplan, well mostly stuff for free from Torrents) I never scored below 45Q/27V score range of 550-690. Most of my Q scores were 47-49. And verbal 27-38.

What I noticed on the exam was that on Quantitative section I had to guess at least 9 questions and just check randomly last 5 questions since i run out of time, but still scored 48(well nothing to be proud of much). On verbal I though I did it well but turned out disaster, 25. So finally the question: one of the guys with 720 told me that my quantitative score of 48 was just luck and I won't get it next time. Since I plan to boost my English and retry GMAT, do you think it was luck( minimum 15 questions guessing) that i scored 48? And do you think verbal is adaptive like quantitative? any advice would be appreciated

It looks like you are exceptionally good in both the sections, but dont guess at random..

Your quant scores are good just little more practice and you can cross 50.

You must work on verbal to get atleast 10 more points......during practice check on your time...You should not take too long or too short for a question, Guessing should be done only if you stuck ina ques or you dont have time to complete it.

Happy studying

Thanks Chaw for reply. One more question, is verbal adaptive? like math.
