Hello Everyone,

After 6-7 weeks of dedicated efforts, my scores are as below:
Exam pack 1 Test 3 - 680 - 15th March Q 47 V36
Retest EP1 - 730 - 22nd March Q 49 V 40
EP 2 - 710 24th March Q48 V40 - I was expecting a low score because of the much easier questions in this one compared to EP1, did the analysis, regretting the hurried pace when I had 10+ mins at the end in both the sections !!

I did take MGMAT and Kaplan tests earlier but they are way off compared to GMATprep's format and hence I took only official ones while preparing from all the available resources.

I had planned to take the test on 21st but had to delay it as I wasn't confident. Even now I am confused whether to go ahead or wait for some more improvement, my target is 720 as I believe my experience will compensate for the low score. At the same time, I don't want to get into a retake situation as I don't have that kind of time with me.

Pls suggest strategy for next one week to atleast perform at 720-40 level. Dates are pretty much easily available in the city am in so I didn't book it till now and today GMAC site is down!

Thanks a ton!!!
Your scores are very good, and you don't need to "compensate" for them. That said, I would take a few more tests if I were you. Also, you might want to think about keeping some time in hand for a second attempt. Going in looking to get your target score on the first attempt itself is fine, but you should have a contingency plan in place.

Thanks Ajitesh!! Very encouraging!! Yeah am taking a couple of more tests just to be sure and to fine tune as much I can! I do believe its not possible to ever say that one is done with the preps, with so many question banks and so much to learn with every wrong answer.

That said, keeping fingers crossed for no retake situation!!!

Thanks again!
