Congratulations on a wonderful score. Could you talk a little bit about the GMAT verbal section. What type of questions you say during the first 10 questions, what type of SCs did you see, what time you spent on the first 10, last 10, etc.
The verbal section was not as hard as I had expected. I actually ended up scoring better on the verbal than I did on the quantitative. The PowerPrep practice test SC were harder than the real thing (and harder than Kaplan's). The SC questions mostly comprised parallelism, verb tenses, and subject-pronoun agreement. Nothing surprising.
I'd say about seven or eight of the first ten questions were SC. I was able to work through them fairly quickly so that I could spend more time on reading comprehension and critical reasoning (my weakest area). I ended up having an extra few minutes on my verbal section, which is exactly how all of my practice tests had gone. Strangely, I almost ran out of time on the quantitative, which almost never happened in my practice exams.
Good luck!
