Great Story Mishari, thanks for sharing!
Not that I was put down, but I was truly surprised by the difficulty of test.
I'm not a native English speaker, but I managed good scores on the American SAT back when I was in Highschool. Plus I did my Engineering Degree in England. So naturally I assumed I can smoke this test without putting much effort in it... BIG MISTAKE. I actually traveled to do it in another city cause the one done in my city is only done once a week and I wanted to do it immediately. I stayed at my friends place, we went out every night, I did not prepare, I had a flat tire on my way to the test center (Hertz fault really), and surprise surprise 460!!! I was gutted!!
So here we go, this time, rolling my sleeves up & planning to put in the work.
However, I have to say im a bit worried about being too late for admission to good schools. I'm a full time employee and only 2 weeks ago realized I would have an opening this summer as I leave my job in 2 months (on good terms
), so I'm trying to rush the exam in order to have enough time to apply. Which is kinda the reason I traveled to take the test ASAP.
I tried to enroll in an actual class-type course, but that would take too long, and by the time its finished all the top school's deadlines would've passed. So I'm in for a couple of weeks of late nights with online courses, prep books and of course the GMATCLUB.
I'll be seeing you guys around
