I have heard some universities require indian candidates to have a gmat around 740+ just because there are so many of them who score at that level to begin with.



Seriously?
I am Brazilian, is it the same?

You should be okay. I dont know brazil's stats but I think you should be fine. I haven't come accross any brazilians that took the gmat to begin with so you are in a good standing with a 720. Congrats on the score!

Hii IEsailor, congratulations to you for getting such a good score withstanding the poor conditions at the test center. If you were regularly getting 770 on Manhattan cats then most probably poor conditions might have taken a toll on you and your score. But 720 is still an awesome score! Also, please tell me if questions on test were of comparable difficulty to questions on gmatprep or harder than those. Also did you gave test in that yousuf sarai center ? Guess what, I will write my gmat at the same place on 23rd this month :( Hopefully the AC works that day and I don't get roasted in an Owen.

HI Aj85, I took the test at the Yousuf Sarai centre and the centre is a good clean nice place to take the test. The testing facility is very conducive to giving a good environment, with the exception of that day. The staff is very cordial and welcoming and even that day, when i had this horrible experience, the test invigilators themselves said that they would forward my protest to the authorities at Pearson Vue.
Well during the actual GMAT exam, i got very different questions in terms of difficulty and subject concentration than what was there during my GMATPrep exam but then this depends on how exhaustive your attempts were to squeeze the GMATPrep. In this website there are ways to take the GMATPrep a number of times and squeeze out all question. I felt that the difficulty level of the manhattan Gmat questions was quite comparable to what i got on the actual GMAT.
All the best for the 23rd.
