A word of thanks: 770 would've been impossible without you guys

Even before I took my GMAT exam, I had decided that regardless of my result, I would make this post in order to thank everyone on this website.
I'm one of those silent trawlers of GMAT club, the ones who silently read all the interesting debriefs, answer the top questions of the day, etc.
But I would've never been able to achiever what I did without the help of posts from users such as bb, Bunuel, souvik, Tommy Wallach, daagh, chineseburned and so many more users who I have made my unofficial mentors. I know there are plenty more like me who don't post much, but I'm sure we are all very thankful for all the tireless work and effort that has been put into this website. From using @bb's carefully curated compendiums of high difficulty Verbal and Quant questions, to finding @bunuel's precise and logical explanations to answers on all of those tricky quant problems, from Tommy's superb explanations, which always contained helpful example sentences of word usage and meaning, on those head scratching SCs, to chineseburned's now legendary AWA template, I cannot even begin to tell you how big a part of my journey all of you have been.

For someone who decided to take the path of self prep, this website has been a God-send. I have gone through so many debriefs when I was stressed, found so many helpful tips and tricks on this website, in fact I don't think there was ever a day during my prep where I didn't use the website for at least half an hour. I remember stressing out on CR questions during the verbal section, but I remembered stories I had read on GMATClub about users who felt that all was lost, only for the screen to flash a score of 760+. I had the very same experience. I have always had a tendency to focus on what I get wrong, and even though I took the extremely sane advice to cut my losses and pick the most favourable answer on CR questions that I had spent more than 3 minutes on, I couldn't help but get those questions out of my mind. "What if this is the question that drags me below 700?" But I took deep breaths, remembered all the advice I had learned on this forum, and kept moving on. I remember trembling when I first saw my score on the screen. 770: Q50V45 IR8.

Thank you all for being such a huge part of my journey. Would never have been able to do it without you. I feel that the least I can do is tell you that there are thousands of others like me who may not be seen or heard much, but are forever in your debt.


PS: Apologies if I forgot to mention your username, but if you've ever had any top posts, I've probably read it and gained much from it.
