My Second GMAT Experience

As promised, I'm back with debrief of my second GMAT.
So let's start from the beginning, shall we?

I made sure I got a nice 8-10 hour sleep before I started the test, I didn't wanna be sleepy in the test.
I got to the test centre, for some reason, I was the only one at the test centre at that time, yet again.

I must say I loved it there, except I'm allergic to dust and powder, something that was there in the AC that just got into my nose, irritating really, but I feel I might be coming up with something. The test Admin was the same and very polite as before.
Anyhow, that's just the description of the centre. I know you want to hear about the GMAT

This time I selected the correct courses, there's a slider, I didn't see that the last time, it is camouflaged into the UI

I selected V Q IR A order.

VERBAL

I started the test with SC question, RCs were well paced, by that I mean I knew they'll come in that way and they did.
The RC questions were surprising, however. The questions were tricky, passages were all at least 3 paragraph long.
CR was always my weakness so I wouldn't comment on that, I even had to skip 2 questions. By skip I mean, carefully guessing and moving forward. The prompt were confusing.
SC was my strength as always, I saw 3 tricky questions, I know I got them right. There was a weirdly good pattern in those, a pattern that I've seen in the zillions of questions that I solved.
I might have been bad at managing time coz I had to rush through the last RC passage, probably my worst nightmare for the time, and that led to a chaos in last 6 questions
So that nightmare explains y I got a V38 and not a V40+ that I got in last two official mocks
Well, it's not an excuse, it's a fact, all the more reason that I'm pissed at myself

Quantitative
The quant section was no cookie either. They started with easy questions, 10 questions were easy as anything, for me atleast, given the background. But in the mid segment there was a linear equations question that wasted 7 mins, yes, I was dumb enough to go for it, it was a getable question afterall. I had to rush through last three questions, not just rush, I had to skip two, when I solved the third, I ended up marking the wrong one coz the timer was running out.
Got a Q48. Yes, I'm not very happy to hear that either

IR Section
2 MSR questions as expected, luckily both from an area of my preference, Marketing and Movie making, one from table analysis, one from GI, and two part each. I didn't expect much from IR, as I didn't prepare for it much, so I'm happy with an IR5

AWA
Unlike the AWA last time that was sweet an simple. This was as long as well something
Took me a long time to figure out what to write and write the first para, the explanatory one.
So I had to cut short some of the stuff that I had to write, I hope I get a 5 at least.

After the exam the administrator came in and saw the score, and I could tell, he was happy to see the 7 in front of my score. It feels good when people are happy for you, trust me I don't get that a lot, so I like to find it in all the small things.

I was not very thrilled as I wanted to get a lil more. But I'm glad it wasn't worse.
