I took the GMAT today (my second attempt) and got 690 (V40Q44). I didnt make it to the 700s list but neither I intended to 
I am very happy with my score.
I warmed up for the GMAT with Princeton review which is good to begin the journy and ended up with OG 11, 10, GMATpreps and GMATCLUB ofcourse.
I am not native english speaker so i had a very difficult time with Verbal but also with Quant. I have always disliked math in school and my greatest problem are basic math calculations that can be done with any simple calculator. However, I havent manually added or divided numbers since 1989 (I was 9 at the time lol) and therefore it was a tremendous pain to re-learn all this basic crap over and over again. I kept making many silly mistakes during my practice exams.
My first quant question on today's GMAT happened to be related to a division of a huge number which I had to factor and manipulate so I just skipped it and moved on. Un-freakin-belivable! NExt, the second problem I didnt understand at all so i skipped it again. My third question was some lousy fraction so I knew I am not doing very well (not a surprise). At that point I felt devastated and thought I am gonna score miserably like on my first attempt. I only had about an hour of sleep last night due to excess nervousness before the test. However, I ended up with 690.
In october I had my first attempt and scored miserably 540. I was very well prepared and ready for the test (since I scored 700 and 710 on GMATpreps), so I really dont have an explanation where from this huge difference between the test and Gmatpreps as well as from the second attempt is coming.
I studied a lot before my first exam, my social life become miserable and then non-existent. My girlfriend dumped me because all my attention happened to be focused on the GMAT... 540 on the test felt like a really really cold shower.
Still, I didnt even study that much since the first attempt because it looked that I had a bad day or something.
50% of your test score is your concetration and ability to focus on the test day.
Now, I will gladly get rid off all this books and papers which kept me company for last 3 months.
