hello, guys,
I took the test yesterday and was surprised on one hand but on the other hand I must admit that I was not prepared indeed.
I got as low as 510!
I felt I was prepared in math and thought that my lack of RC skills will be compensated by relatively good performance in CR and SC. Wrong.
The test itself apeared not very hard, SC and CR were much more easier than those posted by Mikhail, Praetorian and other cool guys.
Anyway I focused too much on first 12 questions in math and did them with 1-2 or no mistake I believe. Though I spent to much time on the problem (ratios) which I felt was too simple but which I could not solve. You want to know why? I made an error in calculation: 4x14 and I got 64 instead of 54!! Just imagine that stupid mistake.
I answered it right at last, but I ended up with more than 12 questions at hand at the end of the math section when time was almost up!! Imagine how I felt seeing the problem I could 100% answer right but had to guess for no time left for calculations!!
I got a paltry 37 in math.
Verbal was not hard, though RC screwed everything up. Of course I must have made some mistakes in SC or perhaps in CR but one of the passages in RC I answered totally wrong. I failed to understand a key fact from the text and all the questions I aswered afterwards were wrong.
Anyway, Misha, Praetorian, dj, vicky and many many others, thank you for help. You all are the champions, top BS's are waiting for you. As for me, I have already applied to Stuttagrt Institute of Management and Technology. Did not even think of applying to US. I am waiting for ETS to send my score report to SIMT, who knows may be they will accept me (their minimal score is 500). In general (but for gmat) my application is strong (gpa's, 4 years of finance-related experience and strong recommendations). I still hope.
Good luck everybody!!!

It is so sad to read this!
I believe that you can earn much more. (Maybe it just was not your lucky day)
Read my post! I also started from 510, and I think that anyone can hit 700.
Anyway, good luck with SIMT
But if you want to take gmat one more time, I can give you any assistance I could in quant section
I think that such stupid test as GMAT should not be a barrier to graduate study. It could and should be beaten

vaka, I agree with Mikhail's advise, if you believe that you can do it, then you really can. it's just the mind-set that matters. Be positive about the result, it has given you one more chance to prove yourself.
that GMAT... ain't it?
If you feel SIMT is a good choice, go for it, else give gmat another shot. ...just the matter of time, buddy.

Not that I dislike gmat or brainwashing activities it provides, but I hardly could balance my private life and gmat. Work, sports, family and gmat are very hard to combine indeed.
