Calling all April 2014 GMAT Test Takers!

Thanks for the response bb. GMAT is over. Scored 760 (Q50, V42) but bombed IR...just 3. I am in a bad situation...really bad. Have no idea what to do now. In the GMAT prep test I scored 8 in both the tests and thus neglected the IR section during preparations. Probably that was the reason I could not handle my nerves during those 30 minutes. I have no idea how such a poor score is going to impact my applications. I plan to apply in 2015 and I feel that by that time Universities will start considering IR scores to some extent. Should I take GMAT again? I am well prepared right now and I feel that if I continue my preparations and book the next possible date, I can manage 760 again. Please help.

And bb you were right... sticking to the official questions is the best. It helped a lot in verbal. I solved some 850 SC 450 CR questions and around 140 RCs...everything official. I used the unofficial practice tests just to improve my timing, accuracy and concentration level. After solving so many official questions I was able to judge whether a concept tested by an unofficial question could be tested by GMAT and I used to ignore such questions. Solving official questions, as many as one can, is the best strategy...I can recall 3-4 SC questions which tested the same concepts as those tested by the questions in GMATprep question bank. I was able to solve those questions within 20 secs each and the best thing...i knew i marked them right I was so confident and fast during the 75 minutes of verbal section that I knew what my scores were going to be even before I was on 30th question

I just wish I did not lose my nerves in the IR section

Congratulations on your impressive 760 score.

Please, where can I get those OG questions you said you solved? Or did you mean the ones on the OG text book?

I need those OG questions bank inorder to strengthen by preparation for the gmat coming up in june.

Thanks

U can find those question pools in Gmatclub downloads. Just google GMATPREP COMPREHENSIVE SC/RC/CR. There are three different PDFs. Official answers are also available...search GMATPREP COMPREHENSIVE SC/RC/CR OA. But caution: These questions are from the GMATprep Exams' pool. If you solve these questions, the official practice tests will be spoilt for you... every question in the tests is from these PDFs only. You will not have any official source to judge your actual progress. So, I would advise you to stay away from these questions until you are done with all the 4 GMATprep tests. And make sure you utilize those tests properly...dont waste even a single one. they are really important. I wasted 3 of them by solving the question pool...but luckily it was my second attempt and I had a decent idea of what i would face during GMAT. If you are a first timer...solve all the OGs, GMAT prep question pack(available on mba.com), GMAT prep tests (2 free and 2 paid ones). Then you can devote 15-20 days to these question pools.

what do u mean by 2 free and 2 paid gmatprep test.
are there any test that we have to buy separately.

Yes
