As I've mentioned previously, I never had problems with time management. For me it was quite the opposite problem. I used to finish Verbal with like 20 minutes to spare and Q with a good half hour to spare sometimes and then end up getting a 720-730 and then I consciously slowed down to the point where I was literally reading RC passages twice before attempting questions and was taking physical notes.

This is almost unreal. :shock:

No wonder you got a 760. Great stuff!!

definitely exaggerate this views

Congrats "whiplash2411" -- lots of notes to take down from this post. Thank you!

One question: you mentioned the need to "use the GMAT Club Tests correctly" for quant >> what would you suggest in order to do that? I know that sounds kinda silly, but I figured it would be better to ask than to go through them and then do that wrong....

The bed intruder song popped in and out sometimes. Maybe it helped. Probably not. :)

See, it's just one of those songs that you CANNOT get out of your head once it gets in. It's really retarded that way. The last practice GMAT I took, I had "Put a banana in your ear" stuck in my head. I belong in kindergarten.

Haha. I can understand it well. These days I've the song "Pretender" by Foofighters stuck in my head. It's weird when during studies this song suddenly starts playing in my head :-D

Congratulations on the amazing score...

I especially liked "Read the strategies and make a list of the rules. ON YOUR OWN. Don't use lists made by others because what they might have found easy might be difficult for you and vice versa."

BTW, how are you apps going?
