I took the GMAT test yesterday and scored a 760 (Q50, V42).
My prep was of 750-760 level and I had imagined for a band of 720-760....so Im pretty relaxed to be at higher end...
Im quite happy to meet my targets and look forward to applications. (Given market conditions and demands of my job, I might apply in R2 only and that too to 2-3 colleges against earlier planned 5)
Background: I am an Indian with close to 7 years of exp. I sat for GMAT as I’m planning to apply for some MFin/PHD programs. I’m a proud father of a baby girl….given that she is only 6 months old…I missed some precious
moments for this brutal exam
…but hopefully she will understand when she will be grown up
I really want to thank GMATClub and all wonderful people on board. Special thanks to BB for his kind support...and to Akhikesh for keeping me motivated.
My Practice Scores (from latest to last)
MGMAT-4(750), GMAT Prep Reatke-1 (760)…Retake -2 ( 770),MGMAT -3 (730),
8th Aug Kaplan-5 790 55 51, 4th Aug Kaplan-4 720 54 35, 2nd Aug Kaplan-3 750 55 42 , 25th July Kaplan-3 730 55 36, 21st July Kaplan-2 700 49 39, 3rd July Veritas Free Test 670 47 39, 26th June Princeton Free Test 680 51 33, 17th June Knewton Free Test 710 49 36 , 28th May MGMAT-1 720 49 39, 21st May GMAT Prep-2 710 51 35 , 15th May GMAT Prep-1 760 51 43
I gave many of these exams (specially non MGMAT/GMAT prep) for practice and always experimented few things like finishing Maths in 40 minutes , giving more for RCs etc
Material used
Books I used and now highly recommend
OG12, OG Verbal, MGMAT Advanced math, Powercore CR, SC Bibles, Aristotle SC
Books I used and found ok
Kaplan800, Kaplan Premier-2011, SC
Books I used and was disappointed
MGMAT - Geometry, RC, CR
Books I didn’t use and now regret
GMAT Club Tests (I finished only 5 Tests), OG Maths Guide, Aristotle RC-99
Books I didn’t use and I am glad
Everything else…(I like, so many people before, will vouch for using only good quality material)
Test day
Quant
My first question was a sitter on calculating percent increase in a share price...and this is what I do all my day
.....still in exam I got panicked and took 7 minutes to solve it....
After that rest of exam was always about not letting it get derailed....in the end I managed to finish exam with some good time left....but that shock of first question must have affected my accuracy
Verbal and AWA went smooth
Suggestions:
•Don’t overestimate your strengths….I somehow “ assumed” that I will get a 99 in Maths and paid price in the end…luckily Verbal managed the day for me...
Practice , practice and practice
•Use only good quality material ( no substitute for official guides)
•Only Use GMAT Prep and MGMAT tests if you are short on time
•Be completely relaxed in last 2-3 days….I dint study for 2 days leading into the exam
Thanks

Supper! and ya sure your little baby will understand once she grows (it's very difficult to manage though in a situation like yours)
I think that with a 760 you'd be very competitive at all the schools you're targeting if you manage to keep the other parts of your application strong.
