All

took the exam today was not happy got 640 Q47 V31 .

Long story short for the people who are planng to take the exam

Quant was tricky full of traps be careful and watch the clock

Verbal felt diffenrt had 2 bold faced Q's for CR RC was dense something about mitochnodria lost track of it and SC were long ones .

Any way I know i need to work on my verbal skills and need to hone the skills

any comments and suggestions is more than welcome

and you know what guys actually i am not feeling too bad gona continue my life have fun play tennis chill and improve my GMAT in the process... but i sure still have the fire to tame the beast!!

have a good weekend and i will be around

hey...i know the feeling...same score as mine....

though i think you need to focus more on quant than anything else...

if you had scored 49+ on Q I think you would have gotten 700....

I have a suggestion, lets all of us, those with 640-670 range, lets setup a focus group to help each other minimize our weaknesses...and come up with smarter test taking strategies...I think we are all at the same level, so we should be able to help eachother out...

I am preparing to give my gmat next month, probably early 2 nd week of sept...got myself the manhattan gmat SC book, lets see if i can improve...

i think thats a great idea i think we are nearly there but still not got a closure on the 700 score. I think the key is to make sure we get 700+ score at home and then go for it .

let me know how you want to start this focus group so that we can all aid each other and let us know our comments and experiences may be we can request the founders to start another blog in the main root directory

I have manhattan Material its good especially the SC let me know how your GMAT exam went out i will be lookign out for your result!! bottom line dont give up and review all your errors

Hi rxs, you must have heard of my story by now but I want to remind you that I too got a score like you in my second attempt (48Q31V-650). I knew from then that I had to work and I mean work hard on verbal. However, it is not impossible because I did it and so did many others in this forum.

The 7XX number is just a psychological barrier that anyone can cross and especially you given that you have studied quite hard for it. I have been keeping an eye on your progress and I believe that you should stay away from the math forum for a bit. Focus on the verbal forum and learn the concepts being taught there. Simply relentlessly pound on your weak points and do not leave any stone unturned. Explain every problems in your own words and you will see the improvement.

Good luck.

thanks mate

for your wishes and advice... i think the key is to perform consitently in all the 5 answer types : DS PS / RC CR SC i might have a good day in verbal but a bad day in DS so i gotta be consitent in all the 5 sections and you are right i have been too particualr about Quant that i might have slacked on the Verbal aspect. I think the biggest leasson learnt is that I never reviewed my wrong answers for RC and CR I shall do that .

But bottomline is its not the end of the world !! life is beautiful and life goes on so might a well enjoy the ride!!! :)

thanks for your support and time!
