hi guys,
I am feeling totally devasted today.
Ended up scoring 630 M:50 V:25.
Don't know what to do...I am really let down by the score.After Six long months of preparation after my first GMAT in which I scored M:49 V:23 I am totally depressed.I was hoping a lot better score considering my practice test scores the second time:
MGMAT scores:all above 710 English :above 38 always
GMAT prep1:770 M:50 V:44
Repeat1: 780 M:51 V:47
Repeat2 : 770 M:50 V:44
GMAT prep2: 770 M:51 V:44
Repeat1: 760 M:50 V:42
Repeat2: 770 M:50 V:42
2-3 CRs were from
OG in all the tests...Can those make such a difference??...I don't think so
May be I am really bad in English even though the scores don't tell this but the real GMAT that I took today morning does.
I have lost my dreams...I have lost faith in myself.
After my first GMAT in last December I sat down from the next day on and kept studying...Participated a lot on this forum...did CRs from LSATs till 14th test...I was really confident going into this test.But the thing that I was afraid of happened and shattered all my dreams.
My mental temperament was good this time...But like last time I couldn't sleep the night before...Still I was confident in the morning before the exam that atleast my practice scores were good...May be I got over-confident with my scores and was really thinking big about the future...Your luck plays a much greater role especially on that day...Hard work I guess doesn't matter that much
God doesn't want me to be among the big great MBAs...Atleast I didn't spoil my social life this time.
A small piece of advice: Never compromise ur social life for this exam like I did the first time I gave GMAT.Always be with ur friends and enjoy.This will take the pressure of the exam off you and you will do really good...trust me.
But that doesn't matter...
Anyways...enough of my experience...for those who want to know what the real GMAT questions are like:
SC is much like GMATPrep....just know the basics.
CR is trickier than LSAT ones but the plus point is that CRs on GMAT are smaller 2-3 sentences.
RC was tough for me...even after so much pratice in various prep tests I was struggling b/w two close choices in most of the RC...guess the night's sleep really hurt
I reallu can't understand what went wrong today...CR or RC...SC at which I was really good...I don't have the stamina to take the exam again right now.I took 2 weeks time off my office in the middle of a project...I guess I am good for nothing...I will have to be content(that I am really bad at English) with this score.
Can I do something with this 630??...Any good university at all.
My profile is 2 years work experience in Tata Consultancy Services(TCS,India)...Any suggestions what I should do with my devastated future??...Should I retake the test and may be hope this time I make it??
