Will keep it short.
I tried . I will try again.
Last GMAT PREPS were 720(Q49V38) and 700(Q49V37)
Gave the Actual GMAT today. 690(Q46V38) [Cancelled it]
I am an entrepreneur . I did put a lot of effort. But WILL NOT QUIT so easily.
Some cons: 1.There's a lot of resources out there and I made a big blunder of going through many of those. Would advise people to stick to a few .
New Strategy: 1.Sticking to only the important ones now.
Q: Bunuel Only and GMATCLUB
V: Manhattan Modules and GMATCLUB
Nothing more.
EXAM EXPERIENCE
1.Mumbai, India - Andheri Centre - Good Airconditioning , Clean place, but LOO is too small.
2.They give a BIG WHITE COLOURED A3 SIZED Notepads and the alcohol-based Markers tend to dry up quickly.
3.Break Time is 8 mins, but effective 5 mins here.
4.There's water inside but no other eatables including Chewing Gums.
Need some HELP regarding the following
1.Timing on Verbal. (SC and RC seem fine to me)
2.CR(Any TRIAGE techniques when the clock runs out)
Even though I did SELF-PREP, I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO MENTION HERE THAT I TOOK EMPOWERGMAT's 3 DAY TRIAL in my last few days.Its excellent , but I have limited financial resources to buy it.

Hi AmanKidCACS,
First off, a 690 is a fantastic score (it's just a bit below the 90th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your Official results and CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same way each time (+/- a few points). If you do choose to retest, then you might want to think about this whole process as more of an investment in your future than a series of expenses to be avoided. The cost of adding some additional study materials will likely be less than the cost of retaking the GMAT - and the long term benefits (including getting into a better School, potentially receiving Scholarship money and all of the income that you will earn over the course of your lifetime) make these type of investments something that must be considered.

Hi Rich, I must say I just got an email from empower and the 60 Points booster came as a blessing. I am hoping to give myself another 6 weeks time.
Do you think a 750 is reasonable ? My choice of school has a mean score of 725 and a range of 690-760, but I am from a Nationality that has made the GMAT Benchmark too high for the average Joe.
Hence I am hoping a 730+ atleast.
