Hi mates,
I'd like to share with all of you my experience with the GMAT exam. Just a brief description of myself to better understand my score:
I'm spanish non native speaker. I have also a 6-year degree in Telecommunication Engineer in one of the most prestigious universities of Europe. And finally, I've been preparing for the GMAT for almost 1 year, taking it 3 times.
My results were:
1st Attempt: 580(Q:43; V:28)
2nd Attempt: 540 (Q:49; V:17)
Here you can see my experience of my second attempt (which was a huge error)
540-q-49-v-17-i-don-t-understand-anything-73315.htmlAfter that, my proud was very hurt and I decided to do my best, so I spent 5 months more studying. Mates, I just can say I studied very hard at the same time I had to work... I passed those days with the hope I would score good. All the exams I did led me to think so:
GMAT Prep Test 1 - 690
McGraw Hill Test 3 - 660
Princeton review Test 3 - 620
Princeton Review Test 4 - 610
Princeton Review Test 1 - 630
Princeton Review Test 2 - 630
GMAT Test Paper 14 - Q: 31 good out of 37. V: 32 good out of 41
GMAT Test Paper 31 - Q: 35/37 V:33/41
GMAT Test Paper 55 - Q: 31/37 V:33/41
GMAT Prep Test 2 - 760
PowerPrep Test 1- 720
PowerPrep Test 2- 680
GMAT Prep Test 1 - 760
GMAT Prep Test 2 - 740
This progression was due to a deep study of the Manhattan SC guide, PowerPrep CR, taking part in the verbal forum and above all,
spending time reviewing both the right answers and the wrong answers. For me, the last point was a key point.
So, I felt very confidence about the exam, although I knew that the real thing would be completely different.
However, now 630 seems to be very low upon the light of my practice exams and also taking into account that it is my 3rd attempt.
But mates, I have to say that this is my last stop in my GMAT journey. Now I'll start the preparation of my application package, starting by asking for a
profile review in this forum.
And that's all folks, I just wanted to share my experience with you.
Any comment is of course welcome
Thank you
