Hi Guys,
My score breakdown:
IR 5
Quant 49
Verbal 34
690
I wrote my GMAT exam today and wanted to share my experience with you.
My preparation: I did not enroll in any coaching classes, nor did I but any new books.
I just wanted to know how I would fare all by myself and bought OG 2016 and MGMAT mocks.
Gave a test just to get used to it and was not serious about it.
AWA, a relatively easy topic was given. I copied off the chineseburned template suggested in this forum.
IR, I never concentrated on this section. My bad, the real IR was moderately tough
Quant was very easy compared to the MGMAT Cats on which I practiced.
Verbal, Guys I panicked in this section. Got too deeply involved in the Passages and critical reasoning and lost valuable time.
When I saw my timer, I was shocked as I had 20 question to go in around 25 minutes, I panicked and I was not sure which questions to skip.
I started doing all the questions and this screwed me.
Ear plugs and gatorade helped a lot.
Now, I have got only 1.5 yrs of work experience, I have a lot of time to go. I decided to take another exam within a month or two after improving my verbal score sufficiently.
I am thinking of taking e-Gmat verbal coaching online as I am a non-native to english. Here in India, english is riddled with all sorts of mistakes and adds up to my difficulties resulting in my poor verbal score. I need your suggestions on which coaching to opt.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi Karthik.,
First off, a 690/Q49 is a fantastic score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary.
What Business Schools are you planning to apply to?
When are you planning to apply?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich,
Actually, thanks to you I scored well in my GMAT.
You motivated me a lot helping me to evaluate precisely my weaknesses.
I am planning for UC Berkeley Haas, MIT Sloan and ISB.
I am planning to apply for them in 6 months after I complete 2 years of work experience
All the above have a median scores of more than 710. So I am planning to retake the exam.
Your suggestions will be valuable.
