That post is about my experience on GMAT.
First of all, prepared with Manhattan GMAT, but did not cope well even in Quant section. For some questions didn't understand the task completely, but didn't skip them, and tried to answer, that was my mistake, I didn't even have enough time to complete all the 37 questions in Quant
But the overall score is not bad, as it seemed during the test.
As for Verbal part - that is an ABSOLUTE frustration. English is not my native language and I have never had enough practice with it, but usually I did get at least 30 in Verbal section in trial tests. I don't even completely understand why my scores are so low. My IELTS is 7.5, so I thought it is enough base to not to fail Verbal section, but it is not.
The texts are huge, both in IR section (where I did only 9 tasks and got 6 score, because the lack of time) and in Verbal section. Well, definitely, the Quant and IR sections were the most difficult sections about time-management for me. On the other hand, I did complete AWA and Verbal sections in time. But my AWA is awful, thanks God they do not pay much attention to it (am I right?).
Well, there is a big chance, that with my scores I will not be accepted in MSc in Finance postgraduate programs (unfortunately my GPA is also very low, about 3.8/5), so I will need a second trial, with all the attention in preparation to time-management and Verbal part.
