Gmat 680 : Online Gmat experience

Team,

Gave Online gmat on 15 August 21, and scored 680 (36V 47Q IR6 Awa 5). It was not a good experience at all
My online gmat timing was at 2 pm IST and in excitement, i tried logging in 30 mins before the exam. One point to remember, the portal won't let you in until 15 mins before the allotted slot time. Like me, you will have to watch every second, minute pass by until 15 mins mark is reached and trust me time does slows down in these situation (Time dilation is a realty, this is the proof).

The portal opened with 15 mins to spare. I was made to download and install Go To meeting app, where the actual session recording and proctor communication and supervision happens. Post the greetings, the proctor checked my ID proofs and literally read out the entire rules and regulation of the gmat for which i had to reply "Yes" after every rule. The 360 degree room scan happened smoothly and We were set to launch the secure browser to start the exam. Unfortunately, The secure browser won't work properly (Pro tip: ensure you either stop startup of teamviewer or uninstall all meeting apps). It took about an hour and multiple reboots to make the secure browser work properly. It was difficult to maintain composure, as every ticking minute adds to your anxiety.

Finally, the exam started after an hour and luckily, didn't face any glitches throughout the exam. Got a score of 680 (less than my expectation, but reasonable). Quant was a bit tough (i usually got 48-49 in mocks) , Verbal was a shocker ( i had improved my verbal from 23 to 36)

I am open to share whiteboard and dry erase ultra fine tip pens, if anyone wants them (preferably folks from Mumbai/Navi Mumbai can ping me). The dry erase pens are the ones that take more time to get delivered but are worth it. The only condition is that make sure you score more than 680

You can already assume my writing skills aren't good enough (AWA 5 ).

Not a complete debrief but just thought of sharing a bit of information....

Thankyou
