Today I have just taken the damn GMAT. The unofficial score is,
Q 50- Percentile-90
V 24- Percentile-34
Total 630- Percentile 72
Actually, I was a very decent student when I was a student
and to be honest I have never ever ranked much that low %34 ?!!! Too bad... I was always on the top of the list on these kind of exams.
I am a mechanical engineer, and have been working for 3 years. I have studied GMAT for two months in my free times. My study covered mostly the verbal.
At the beginning I was very bad at verbal. Then as I studied, I got better in SC and CR. Actually I have not put so much effort on the RC. I thought that I could do well on SC and CR and this might componsate my RC. Until today, I was quite condifent with the SC and CR because my trials were all getting better and my aim was just 650. Doing all the verbal and concentrating on every single question is just too hard for me. You know also there is a time pressure.
Even though I did not care too much and left 15 minutes more in all tests, my tests at home ranged between 650 and 710.
However, today I screwed up. In the real exam today, I thought that I did very well on the RC but I just could not concentrate on the SC and CR and failed. I dont know why but it was totally the reverse comparing with my studies.
I am so nervous and cannot wait for a month. If it was possible to take it tomorrow, I would go for it. But damn, it is not possible. I do not know what to do, but I'm really bored and do not want to study anymore. Even if I study, I do not know what to study. Because I was quiet sure that I was okey and ready to get what I need. But it just did not happen. Anyway, a boring month is on the way. I'll be back with 700 this time. Wait for me....
And any experience in a similar situation or suggestion what to do next month will be appreciated.
