Hi everyone,
Posting for the first time on GMATclub and it’s about my journey.
My first attempt was a 530 (GMAT Classic). I hadn’t prepared well, and that score really shook me. I couldn’t bring myself to book another test for a while. After taking a month off, I hired a GMAT coach who helped me clear my concepts. Even then, I kept delaying the exam out of fear.
Over time, I studied 5–6 hours a day, did all kinds of questions (easy to 805+ level), and gave around 20 mocks (Experts’ Global and the free official ones twice). But reading about how “impossible” quant was made me panic again, and I pushed the test further. Eventually, I was studying 8+ hours a day, focusing only on 705+ level GMAT Club questions. Friends finally convinced me to stop overthinking and book the exam.
So, I scheduled it for September 27. I told myself this was just a mock, and I’d take it again in November. That mindset kept me calm. I reached the center early, settled in, and chose my usual order: Verbal → DI → Quant.
• Verbal: Rough start. Couldn’t make sense of some CR arguments. Finished with 23 seconds left.
• DI: Slightly tougher than mocks but manageable.
• Quant: Wasted 7 minutes on the first two questions. Then the test froze twice due to internet issues, but I stayed calm. Honestly, quant wasn’t as hard as people online had made it sound. Finished with 5 minutes to spare, even changed 2 answers (glad I did).
When I hit submit, I saw 725 (99th percentile). I had to double-check the name on the screen because I couldn’t believe it.
Score split: V81 | DI89 | Q88
This journey wasn’t easy — it took countless hours and a lot of self-doubt. Huge respect to those who crush it in a few months, but for people like me, it’s proof that persistence does pay off.
If you have any questions, my DMs are open. I’d be more than happy to help in any way I can.
