AI isn't great, especially for verbal inference and stuff like that.

I know this might be debatable, but it's just what I've seen.

I hope the relative score on the actual GMAT is well researched , well calculated, such that the hard ques don't reduce the score drastically.

If not, ie if the hard ques do incur heavy penalties , then we are doomed.

Then it's an iit jee level exam and we know what a joyride it would be.

Don’t have the official score yet so not sure
Please do share with us the data when you get it back. It will help us a lot.

I have a very dumb question for people who have appeared for gmat at a centre, will I be allowed to read RC out loud (not very loud, but say whisper)? I have a habit of reading out loud. And if I don’t I am unable to grasp very well.

During the exam
Here’s a few additional best practices to keep in mind for during the test.

Do not read questions out loud or mouth questions to yourself
While testing, you can’t speak out loud or move your lips as you read the questions. If you do, the proctor will chime in and ask you to stop.

If you know or suspect this is something you’ll need to overcome, try taking some practice exams without reading the questions out loud or silently mouthing to yourself. We recommend doing prep sessions with your laptop video camera on and checking the recording to see if you are moving your lips. With a bit of practice, you can unlearn mouthing the questions. You can do it!

It would be fine until it's disturbing enough for other test takers.
But you'd have to make sure the whispering is not that loud so it's heard by other people. Whoever is giving test besides you.

This is official statement by GMAC. Most probably this rule applies in test centre too.

Hi all, I just got done with my exam and scored a 645 (Q86, V82, D77). The score is pretty much in line with my mock performances, and honestly, the exam difficulty felt quite similar to the official mocks as well.

For my next attempt, I really want to improve my DI score significantly. Could someone please suggest a good course or resource specifically focused on the DI section? Looking for something that can help bring a noticeable improvement.
Congratulations 👏🎉
