Hey all,

Please wish me luck for tomorrow’s exam. I will take at center.

Hope to do in a one exam.

This GMAT stress ruined me. 7 months. 20 Hours of Tutor. Hundreds of hours of work. Thousands of questions. Gained 15 kg. Many anxiety meds to get ease my mind.

Quant is good. Would be like least Q48 (Mostly made 50 in mocks)
Verbal is awful. RC & SC ruins everything. I have a 4-6 wrong rows in a pattern which ( Some days V28 some days 35 etc.)

If I had a chance, it will be get out of my way or i will really suspect from my brain. This exam really ruined my life :(

Hi,

DO not get stressed now on your mocks etc. Enter the exam hall with peace in your mind, although it is easier said than done.
You have been here from last 6 yrs, and it just shows your determination.

Believe in youself and your dream score.
All the best!

Hi ataman,

Regardless of what occurs on Test Day, if you choose to retest or need to retest, then it's worth remembering that the GMAT is a remarkably consistent and predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. Business Schools also generally do not care if you take the GMAT more than once, so doing so is not a big deal. I'm interested in hearing how you scored, but if you'd prefer to discuss your results privately, then you can feel free to contact me directly.

Hi All,

Thanks again for your good wishes.

Everything went bad during exam. Technical glitches during Verbal and stress in a row of 5-6 questions brought me a bad score. I have cancelled it. I want to forget it. It was worse than my mocks.

Q was great. It was 50. I was stresful during Verbal. I need to overcome my anxiety and get prepared in a month for another exam.

I will let you inform about it.

Thanks again for your support.

KR,

Ataman

Hi ataman,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day did not turn out better. Can you go into a bit more detail about the 'technical glitches' that you faced during the Verbal section? I ask because if they were severe enough, then you might have justification to ask for a free retest. What was your overall result and what was your Verbal Scaled Score?

In addition, you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Thanks for your consideration! Questions sometimes stuck. Test personnel said it might happen sometimes etc.

It was a very awful experience. All i want just to forget it and would like to focus on next.

I don’t want to share my shameful score in here to humiliate myself. My pride is already broken.
