Hi fiendex,

In my first GMAT i got 8 percentile in ver bal i was weak in verbal and quants was comparatively better than verbal,though it was not good. I was weak in RC and SC ,the most critical part of GMAT. I used all SC and Cr provided by gmat club. Moreover lack of confidence fear pushed me down in first test

Many many congratulations, vaishnavi!:)

You have almost doubled your score - probably one of the biggest success stories on GMATClub, and a great moment for GMATClub as well!

Am so glad I could help, in whatever way...!

Cheers

Santanu

Congrats vaishnavi

Hats of to you. What a jump from 360 to 700. I am so motivated reading your post.
I am in the same situation as you were in.I scored low in my first GMAT exam.Started preparing again from 10th Jan and Retaking in March first week.

I have only taken GMATPrep tests and scoring between 630-700.Did you take any MGMAT tests?

Once again Congrats & Party Hard now:)

Hi Santanu76,

I am so happy Santanu 76,i am very great full to you,i don know how to thank you,seriously if you weren't there guiding me , making me calm wen i get tensed i would have not achieved this. soooooooooo happy ,happy that i fell in to GMAT Club in rite time, and the first time i posted about my gmat test (scoring 360) i felt little ashamed,but i had no ther choice only if i come out of that and explain everything here you will all be able to guide ,so decided to put everything. That day was the day when i took rite decision taking GMAT club and asking for help.

Once again Thanks Santanu76 for our help and kudos :-) :) :) :)

Hi Babzsn84,

No Babzsn84 i did not take MGMAT test,i should have taken Santanu 76 asked me to take but i didnt,it was too late for me to take tests ,i didn't want to pressure myself taking tests often and seeing scores.Though i was confident that i can take i didnt want to force myself.I just wanted to see that i am strong in concepts and remain calm.

When i can double my score,you can easily do this Babzsn84,don worry all the best.Thanks for your wishes :)

This is officially the greatest/highest increase in GMAT score that I have seen.... officially and unofficially. And in one month? Wow!

Congratulations!!!

P.S. I have improved 210 points and that was tough. I can't imagine 360.
