went to bed ~11 last night, got up 6 and got to test center ~7:20 so chilled in the car for 30mins. Drank a 5hour energy before exam and felt great throughout the 4 hours.
AWA:
Analysis question is about comparing current and previous mayors - not too bad. The argument question is about how effective celebrities are in social behaviors or something...
Math:
I felt decent about the math during the exam. Honestly, the MGMAT CAT's math were harder than this. There seemed to be more PS than DS. There was like ~6 geometry problems and no probability/combination questions at all. There was a couple of "weird" questions like factorials and sequence but not one question i felt "omg wth is the answer".
Verbal:
I actually felt very good throughout the verbal - there were 3 reading sections covering politics, science and history. I was even giddy at the end thinking i wont have to take another test....
then i saw my score....
quant: 48
verbal 29
total 640
i almost said wtf aloud. I am sure there are a lot (even read some stories here) of people who also thought he/she did great but came crushing down. One thing is confirmed though - i probably dont need much more help on math....
"luckily", i am applying for next year so i have quite a bit of time to retest and i am planning to enroll in knewton to get it kicked off - if i get a 690 i would be content. I know i need ~700 to have a chance to get into Yale. Yale is my top choice since my parents work there and i could get tuition reduction and live at home to save tons of expenses..
i am depressed but slightly optimistic..

its just called "5 hour energy". you probably seen commercials about it how it doesnt have the sugary crash like other energy drinks....
To those who got 700+s... If my quant stays the same, do i pretty much need a high 30 to get a 700 or near it? the graph seems to indicate so. If that's the case how many "wrongs" can i afford? just kinda freaked out on verbal now...
