Noooooooo, it's gmahn!
I just took the test a few hours ago and I got a 760 (49Q & 44V), which has made me an extremely happy. It's amazing, a few months ago I was deciding what universities to apply for and I never considered any of the top 20 because I never expected that I would get more than 650 (I[m Spanish who studied business and not so great at Maths). I remember my first diagnostic test with Cambridge and I even didn't end the maths. And that was 3 months ago!!!
And here I am, my second attempt (my first one a 660, 43Q & 39V), getting a compensation from hard work and risking everything (GMAT and TOEFL were among the reasons for leaving my job). I don't think I'm a really a good example of what to do, but at least I have learnt something out of this process and with my example people can see that it's achievable. I just remember some days, not so long ago, when I just felt like leaving everything, losing my whole self confidence and thinking that those higher than 700 people were genius, much more intelligent that I am. But in those moments, I just came here, to this forum, and I read those encouraging posts and I just thought that I could to it. And as I could, everybody can.
It's amazing, it feels great. So I guess that my 760, combined with my experience (entrepreneurship and international) will give quite a lot of chances to MIT and Berkeley.
I'll write later about my prep, because I'm too tired right now and tomorrow I'm taking a plane. Anyway, definitely, Challenges and LSAT made the difference. The 75 US$ of Challenges have been my best investment, with difference.
Anyway, good luck!
