Test Date - 9th Aug, 2020
Location - In Center
Score - 740(q48,v42,ir8)
First Attempt
Plan to retake, if needed


Preparation -

1) Downloaded the Magoosh Mobile App and started with Quant Videos (Great videos and a good starting point)
2) Took the 1st and 2nd GMAC Free mock halfway through through the quant videos(no verbal prep at all) - Scores-630 and 610
3) Completed Magoosh Videos - Both Quant and Verbal
4) Completed Manhattan SC Book and PowerBible CR (Absolutely necessary resources)
5) Started prepping questions from GMATClub
6) Reset the Free tests and scored - 730 and 700
7) Took some free mocks from Veritas, Egmat and MGMAT - Found those very tough (Scores ranged between 560 and 660)
8) Continued practicing questions from non-official sources on GMATClub
9) Signed up for Expert Global (Took 8 Tests - Avg. range 720 (quant was usually 47-49 and verbal 40-44) - spacing of 1-2 tests/week
10) Signed up for MGMAT (Took the other 5 tests - Avg 670 (Quant was 40-44 and verbal 33-36) - spacing of 2 tests/week
11) Watched CR videos by Charles(GMATNinja) - Again, absolutely necessary to develop the thinking process for CR
11) Started prepping Official Questions on GMATClub (This was a game changer - no disrespect to any company, but official questions shape one's brain to think in the GMAC way - especially for CR)

12) Took the Official mocks -
3) 720(q49,v39)
4) 720 (q51,v37)
5) 770 (q49,v45)
6) 690 (q47,v38)

I really wish to thank

Your explanations were a BIG help

And Thanks bb for creating this amazing platform


Sorry for the long post, but the GMAT Debriefs of others on the forum really help me zero down on necessary resources that helped me.
Also, I always wanted to thank the above people and this was the best opportunity to do so.

Congratulations! Great score! No need to retake until and unless your target school insists on Q50/51.
