Hey all,
After my previous post where I said I couldn't cross the 600 mark, I joined
Gmatwhiz. My confidence in quants increased.
I spent 3 months studying (already had spent 4 months before that, studying on my own- big mistake).
My mock scores also improved from my previous 560-580s (around Q38 V29)- I started with a 490 though
Gmatwhiz mock1- 650 (Q48,V31)
mock2- 630 (Q49,V27) verbal came as a shock
Mgmat (just verbal)- V32
Gmatprep 2- 650 (Q46,V34)
(I found the
gmatwhiz mock quant questions slightly easy and verbal tougher compared to gmatprep mock)
Never gave IR or AWA since I was going to do them last.
I gave my mocks in a bit unrealistic manner though, I used to pause after a set of 10questions to calculate if I have enough time left- It became more like a habit than a necessity.
I thought if I just stay calm during my paper I should be fine since I was able to do each question in time anyways.
On test day (20th July) I was very calm, the login process was smooth. Finished both sections with 2mins to spare in each. I was expecting my score to be around a 650 again but unfortunately got only a 600 (Q44,V29,IR6). I think I compromised my accuracy for finishing in time.
My aim is a 700 but due to certain situations I had to give it by then. I would be happy with a 650 for my first attempt and then prepare more for my 2nd attempt but this score disappointed me since I've been scoring more in each section in the mocks.
My next attempt I'll give after a few months but now I want help regarding what should I do now? Try another course? Verbal is my weak point, I know I can do better in quants (I hate those Inequality "try out cases" DS questions uhh)
Thanks for hearing me out.
