Hello everyone.
A little bit of background...
I'm a 23 year old Indian IT Male working at HCL Technologies for the past 2 years and along with that I've been working as a Project Manager at Make a Difference(non-profit organisation).
I started my GMAT preparation in March 2019 with Magoosh's premium course but because of several prior commitments, I was unable to find time for my preparation.
Finally, in the month of February 2020, I studied rigorously and exhausted all 1000+ questions that were offered by Magoosh. I gave the two free GMAT Prep tests and improved my Quant score from 47 to 49 although my verbal score was still posing a challenge. I was recommended various courses to improve my verbal score but due to financial constraints, I decided not to buy any new course and tried improving my verbal skills using the questions provided on GMAT club. With luck and persistence, I improved my verbal from 27 to 35. A week before taking the exam, I bought two additional GMAT Prep tests and scored 700 in each. This gave me the confidence to go ahead with the actual exam.
GMAT Online Experience (Date: June 1, Time: 9:45 AM IST)
The night before my exam, I got extremely nervous and slept for only 3-4 hrs. Although two days before the exam, I familiarized myself with the system test, check-in process,etc. and hence, I wasn't much worried about having any last moment glitches. The best part about taking an exam in morning is that you don't get the time to worry. I woke up at 8, had a light breakfast, started the check-in process at 9:30 and finished it without any hindrance. Within two minutes of finishing the check-in process, proctor contacted me through the chat box. I started the first section with a ton load of nervousness.
Both Quant and Verbal sections were consistent with the standard we witness in GMAT Prep Tests. Although there was one unusually easy question in the Quant section which asked me to calculate distance between two points on a 2-D plane. I got this as the 20th or 21st question and it made me feel as if I wasn't doing well on Quant. So my suggestion is that never be bothered about the quality of the questions you see on the Test and instead focus on solving them within 1-2 minutes. Plus I tried minimizing the number of calculations on whiteboard by calculating stuff inside my head. For anyone who feels that it's difficult to do calculations mentally, try doing them for a week and you'll be surprised by your brain's potential
I received my score this morning and the first thing that I wanted to do was to say thanks to everyone at GMAT Club. This forum has tremendously helped me in achieving a decent score in my first attempt. SO THANK YOU GMAT CLUB!
P.S.
I'll be starting with college applications in the coming month. In case you have any suggestions or recommendations regarding admissions, please feel free to share them with me.1

Congratulations for cracking 700! How were the RC passages compared with GMAT Prep? And people say that Actual Exam Quant is a level up compared with GMAT Prep. Any Quant tips?

Hi Rishab,
Many congratulations on this awesome score buddy.
I am planning my exam in next fortnight.
I have 2 quick questions for you.
1. How is the real GMAT's difficulty level as compared with Gmatprep Mocks ?
2. How would you rate Gmatprep verbal difficulty with respect to real GMAT's ?
As a non native, I am sure you will understand my difficulties with SC
, Are the SCs similar or tougher
