Thanks a lot for your wishes, I was kind of disappointed yesterday with my score. But this club is such a motivation, I am back to life now!!

Below is my debrief
I've taken GMAT in 2000 and scored 560, that was all needed for the school I was applying for. So I just prepared for 2 weeks, brushing my English and Math Skills. Now I was aiming for something more than 700, a different ball game all together.

Prep Method and How they compare with real GMAT

OG
My prep was all based on OG11 and the supplements; I must have probably done’em 4 times before taking the exam. The last time I did the OG, three weeks before the exam, I had all the answers ‘by heart’, this is bad (will tell you why). I dint even have to look at the multiple choice!! Somehow I was under the impression that if I master OG, I will be able to cross that “magic 7 numberâ€
