Just got back from two weeks overseas and must say I am overwhelmed by the support this club has to offer! You guys (and gals) rock!! Thanks for helping me pull out of the pit of 2005, and rise to the challenge of 2006. Whatever it takes, however long it takes, and whoever else I can help in the process, this will be a strong and successful year :boxer2

Thanks for all your words of encouragement gang! See you in the forum soon.

Hello GMATT73,

I have recently taken my gmat. also scored much lower than expected.
read your experience. it was exactly the same for me, except that you managed to sleep 1 hour, while i didn't sleep at all.
When did you find that you can't think? with me it happend in the begining of the Verbal.

Do you think it happened becasue of the lack of rest? Or may be it is because of some other reason?
Im going to retake it next month, but still not sure what was the reason of that phenomenon.

You guys are great! I just noticed all your comments to a posting made over half a year ago. :shock: :shock:

Yes, at all costs I will do everything in my power to reach the 640-660 mark this year. With support clubs like this combining the talent of people all around the world I believe that anything is possible.

Never give up, never lose sight of your dreams. Raw determination always prevails in the end.

Bring it on PVue!!

Yes Dilshod, I collapsed around the first few minutes into the verbal section due to mental exhaustion. For some reason, sleeping the night before the GMAT was very difficult and nerve racking. I have started a new meditation routine to help relax and clear the mind this time around. If all else fails, I might suggest a late afternoon or evening test time.

Good luck buddy. See you in the forum. Matt

then walk around with a grin on your face, take a couple of days off, and hit the books again! What I'm saying is..don't let this hit your confidence so soon, perhaps you'll join the ranks of 590 to 700 club! why not?
