Hi All,
I gave GMAT yesterday and finally got the score I wanted...740 (Q50 V39).!!! Was really happy to see it as I wasn't expecting a score like this. I rushed through my last 15 questions in verbal in 16 min. Also, I think I could not submit the answer of the final verbal question. On last 7-8 questions, I feel that either I guessed some of these questions right OR a majority of those questions were experimental so didn't count towards final score OR I really did well in my first 27 questions. Considering all this, overall, pretty pleased with my score
Few more details: i) First attempt (2010): 620 (Q49 V26)
ii) Second attempt (Sept 3rd week, 2012): 680 (Q50 V29)
iii) Third attempt (Dec 1st week, 2012): 740 (Q50 V39)

Any suggestions on the courses I should opt for at this stage of my career...??!! Thanks!!
