I gave GMAT today, and was astonished to see my score
740(Q49, V41)

It was totally unexpected; my maximum score in verbal was 38 and that too in a very simple test. Usually I scored 31-33 in verbal. I think I saved the best for my G-day

My score in quant was never below 50 but on G-day it came down to 49But I will never mind this ....

Below are my scores in practice tests
Kaplan I -580
Kaplan II 630
Kaplan III 570
Manhattan 690 (free test)
Gprep I 700 ( 4 days before exam)
Gprep II 710 ( 2 days before exam)

So I have prepared myself, that my final score will be around 700.


Here goes a small description of my prep

I am an Indian Engineer so I am good at quant and never spent a single minute on quant for my whole prep, not even analyzed the mistakes in made in quant. I only prepared for verbal.

I never studied OG. I prepared RC from LSAT passages, because they are tough and damn boring

For CR I prepared from Kaplan 800.

For sentence correction I followed 1000SC, Kaplan 800 and followed beatthegmat and testmagic blogs rigorously.

AWA- I studied 3 essays arguments and 3 issues just few hrs before the exam and to my surprise I got the first argument from the 3 I studied.

Hey,

Congrats !!

But tough luck for me .:oops:

I took my test last week , v 40 and q 48 ...overall 710... I am pretty disappointed with my quant score because I never got less than 49 in my whole prep. I found the quant pretty much tougher than I expected it to ..What are your views ?? Should I write the test once more ?

P.S : A strange thing is that my verbal prep sources and books were almost the same as you mentioned. GMAT 800 rocks , so does the LSAT RCs

Hi Priyank12,

Awesome buddy !
Congrats for nailing it.

My G-Day is approaching near, struggling in SC badly, and any tips for last minute preparation. Is one Manhattan Test is good enough. What material you referred for AWA.

Need your help !

Congratulation once again !

:cheerio:
