I took GMAT on 10/9 after long period of studying. I used OG10 & OG12 plus multiple books form "ez solutions" collection. I did GMATPrep and Manhattan GMAT. Questions from both of them had similar level of difficulty to actual GMAT. Questions on the test day were simple, but kind of weird. Close to the end of the test I came to the conclusion, that I could as well not study at all because 3/4 of all questions I had to answer based on the feeling in my guts.
Math - it seemed to me that every second question was some form of a word problem - the area that I really did not have covered very well. Only one probability question- fairly easy. One or two geometry, both much easier than these from OG10.
I spent extra time on first 10 questions, because I read somewhere that they weight more in the final score than the other ones. I did not read the last 5-6 questions. I just picked answer randomly to be able to finish on time.
English - reading was easy because topics were business related. Last text was very hard and I barely had clue what it was about. SC - mostly parallel structures to fix, SR simple and not many of them (I would say that I got only 4-5 of them, but maybe I was in test related shock and I did not count properly).
Again, I took extra time to answer the first 10 questions. The last 6-7 I barely read at all.
I did not have enough time to answer the last question. I knew that it would drag my score all the way down.
Overall it was a train wrack and at the end of the test I felt like going to the liquor store, buying a bottle of tequila and forgetting about everything.
It was my first attempt to take GMAT, but I could not retake it because of the school application deadline.
Good thing is that there is a big choice of MBA programs in my city. Average GMAT for admitted students range from 480 to 682 depending on school. My GMATPrep scores on the practice tests were 580-670.
So when I was waiting at the end of this disastrous test for my score I was secretly hoping for 600.
I got 690 – 38 verbal, 46 quant!
