I woke up around 10:15am for my 1:15pm test time. I went to the local dunkin donuts, bought some coffee and bagels. I had some eggs divided my bagel and coffee so that I can have some in the morning and some during the break. At around 11am, I started doing some warmup exercises – 5 PS, 4 DS, 4 SC, 4 CR and I skimmed a RC passage not doing the questions. I left my house at noon and arrived at the test center at 12:20pm. I was given a sheet which contained gmat instructions, the same stuff you would see on the GMATPrep, I didn’t really pay close attention. One portion of the instructions said something to the effect of, “do not access any study notes during the breaks.â€

Seriously though, if you get nervous, don't lean your chest against the edge of the desk. You'll feel your heart pounding and lose concentration.

Just got official score via online: nothing has changed

AWA 5.0 73% -- this is a bit of a joke. Again, I half heartedly practiced maybe once or twice. On the actual gmat I put in about 40 min. for both AWA's and that's being generous.

My advice: do the AWA quickly, be well reasoned, and use it as warm up for the real thing!

I'm a bit disappointed, the decent AWA score takes away a reason for re-taking gmat :lol:
