GMAT in Dec 2012 - Jan 2013

I scored V47 in GmatClub's free Verbal test. I never scored above 40 in any of the mock.
I request forum moderators to comment on the validity of this score.

Hello Guys!

I'm also giving my test in Dec. I guess, every test taker experience the same dilemma as to whether he should try to do as many test as he can or trust himself and work more on the concept. when we're left with few weeks before the test, building the stamina to maintain the same energy level for the 4 hr long process is equally important as to the knowledge of concept. we have to find what best suits us. I would like to hear more on this this from the experts, who have gone through the same phase. what worked best for you guys.

I'm sitting for the GMAT on December 11th and am currently finishing with the last section (Reading comprehension). In all sections on my first attempt on the OG12/VG2/QG2 question packs I've had hit rates between 75% and 86%.

In the last 2 weeks I have, I want to redo all wrong/guessed OG questions, do as many as possible GMAT Club tests, review all concepts based on my notes and completed at least 4-5 full length CAT's. It will be tough, but I will give my best to complete all of them.

Once in the next 2 days I have finished on the conceptual side (RC + revision) and have completed another GMATPrep CAT I will try to work only on my weak areas.

That's more or less my strategy/plan for the last 2 weeks!

Best,

All the best to all the December takers!!!

hiya, I too am planning to give GMAT mid-December. Frankly, I just planned to prepare and give GMAT. I don;t want to wait another year, so why not now!!

I gave GMATPrep EXAM 1 and scored 610 - Q45(incomplete) & V28(with 20 minutes remaining)
Read some material and attempted the same exam again with may be one repeat question in Quant and Verbal
Scored 680 - Q45(this time complete) and V38(1 min remaining).
I tried another test - found after reading through forums, I had started overanalyzing sc questions. I ran overtime in Verbal and killed my score to 640.

My main issue is timing. Somehow that clock running back and question nos. decreasing does not work for me. Any of you got some tricks to help me?

Thanks a lot for such a profound reply. Especially the links you have shared is amazing.

its almost impossible to predict scores cos I've seen ppl with 49 in quant and 36 in verbal score 710. It all depends on the difficulty of the question also there are experimental questions which I don't think get added to your score. GMAT prep is a good estimate (10-20 points above or below) of what you would score on the actual exam provided that you haven't seen the questions earlier and don't know the answers. A link which you could use to estimate your scores...

Hi bgpower

Have you tried GC verbal tests?
I am struggling to finish verbal on time. Any suggestions?
To improve my speed in verbal, I am planning to give 6 GC verbal test. But , I am not sure about their authenticity.
As, I scored 47 in the first GC verbal test. I never scored above 35 in verbal in any mock test (mgmat, gp)

Thankyou for the awesome reply...
I have seen some breakups fro timings in other places but the fact that you mention breaking it in 15 minutes sections 7-8/8-9 questions is what hit the nail. To me this is far more memorable and easier to check. Thanks!!!!

yes guys .i am one of you ,taking gmat on 18th of December
I have taken 2 MGMAT CATS so far.
#1 CAT -680
#2CAT-650
I think i should take some more cats and I will. Also I am working on verbal .doing SC and CR mainly.I dont really study for quant

I am riding in the same boat as you guys are and planning to go for the exam in mid-late Jan to appear for R3. I was wondering where can i find the GC quant Test (free one) that you are referring to.

Its over here lots of other free tests are available

other free tests (veritas, manhattan etc) you will need to create a login for access.
