Hi guys,
Sorry I have been away for a long time! I have been quite ill and busy at the same time. Yep I sat the 'lovely' GMAT on the 5th of Dec and scored 530 Q41 V20something (I cannot remember!). Well I was not very pleased but at the same time pleased. Not pleased cos I was expecting at least 600. Pleased becos I have started my Masters at FSU. I was never looking to go to an Ivy League uni just one round the corner from my house. I plan to retake GMAT next month so you will be hearing more from me.
Now what went wrong? I was tired and I panicked on Verbal. Unusual cos I panic on Quantitative normally not verbal. Quantitative I felt was pretty good. I got 1 probability question and 1 standard deviation question which were ok(and if you know me you will know I am hopeless at all that stuff!). Verbal well another story! I was tired after cracking my head for Q, and wasted time on the reading comprehension. That messed everything up and panic set in.
I really need to achieve at least 600 to have get a chance at a fellowship at my uni.
Thanks guys for all your help. Paul, Prae, Ruhi, Newkid, Hjort et al thanks from the bottom of my heart. Paul and Prae especially (do not mean to point them out but they have been a great help!) thanks from the bottom of my heart for your encouragement and for solving a lot of the problems for me.
I still need all the encouragement I can get guys! HELP!!
