I cannot find nor remember the breakdown for the scores where no breakdown is listed.
I used some but not all of the techniques recommended by the study guides. Here is an executive summary. 1. For instance, while I did take notes on the reading passages I did not skim the passages-I read them thoroughly because I figured I had enough time. 2. I found Barron's to be useless except for some of the math tips it provides. 3. If you are doing poorly on Kaplan do not despair. As my scores show, it took me two tests to get used to the Kaplan tests. 4. Practice helps many people but did not really help me. So some of you might better spend your time enjoying a movie than preparing for the exam. With that said, it feels good to know that you gave it your all.
The GMAT felt much tougher than any practice test I took. I think the experimental questions or the stress may cause that feeling. Good luck to everyone. . .if I have more time I will post a more thorough description of important points.
Good luck to everyone
