Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my positive experience with the GMAT Online.
Prep material and practice tests
I can’t recommend GMATNinja 's videos enough; they were basically my only prep material for the Verbal section.
For Quant, I started with the Manhattan books because I needed a good refresh of the basic concepts. Then, I watched lots and lots of YouTube videos from various experts.
The template from chineseburned and the text-to-voice suggestion from plaverbach were a lifesaver for the AWA.
I only took two practice tests:
- a Manhattan Prep practice test before I started studying (650 - Q39; V40);
- GMAT Prep test 1, around three months before test day (770 - Q48; V48).
I had planned to take the test a few weeks earlier than I actually did, but life got in the way and I didn’t have the time or the mental energy to take another mock.
Technical Aspects
I took the test on a MacBook Air with Big Sur.
It took the proctor nearly an hour to start the exam because the secure browser wouldn’t launch.
After that, though, everything went smoothly: no glitches, no lag, proctor responded quickly before and after breaks.
I only noticed a minor lag during the AWA, but it was nothing more than what you’d get with a crappy bluetooth keyboard.
The test
Disclaimer: I was very tired and had a pretty annoying headache during the test, so my perception could be distorted.
I found the Quant section somewhat harder than the practice questions. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the questions seemed slightly unfamiliar, as if they were written with a different “style” (e.g., less wordy).
The Verbal section overall was very similar to the OG questions. A few SC questions were (or seemed to me) very hard and confusing, but RC and CR were mostly fine.
Surprisingly, the official score was available within a few hours.
Finally, I can’t thank bb enough for creating this amazing forum.
Hope this helps,
Paguro

Wow! Amazing job on getting V44!
Thank you for the shout out though I don’t think I deserve really any credit. I do appreciate it 😎
Wow! How did you manage a 770 on your GMAT Prep? Are you still in college or how are you able to know high school math so well? 😂 Please don’t miss interpret my comment as a doubt. I am just amazed that anyone could have that highest score on a practice test… wow! And why did you wait for three months? 😱

I’m well past college sadly
Honestly? I don’t have a precise answer…
I guessed A LOT of questions both on the mock and on the real test. I remember guessing my very first quant question on the test because my brain was a mush.
But probably, what helped me the most was thinking of the GMAT as a game. It was fun, and if it were possible I would happily take the test every year as a hobby (yeah, I’m weird, I know
).As for the wait time, I had taken the mock as a mid-prep test - the score was a total surprise!
Then my stupid perfectionist self decided it would be better to get just a liiiiittle bit more practice instead of immediately booking the test (lesson learned, I guess).
Throw into the mix the TOEFL, two doses of vaccine, and an injured family member I had to take care of, and here we are.
