Well, it's over!
I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I was slightly dissapointed in my score when I saw it. I had been in the 740-760 range on GMAT prep and the 720-730 range on
MGMAT. My verbal slipped from practice to the real thing, the Q score was about the same. I don't know why, but the verbal seemed harder on the actual test than the prep. Do I have plans to retest to shoot for the 750? Absolutely not! I will heed to the advice given by many that your time is better spent on your essays once you hit the 700 mark.
As far as the prep, here is what I used:
MGMATgmatclub testskaplan 800 tests
GMATprep
OG 12th edition
OG Quant Review
Kaplan GMAT 2010 edition
I have to say, the test makers seem to be getting more creative with the quant questions. I encountered a couple question types that I had basically never seen before in all my prep. Not that the math was more complicated, just the question type itself. Rest assured, however, if you do the 25
gmatclub tests you will have trained your brain to look for the pattern necessary to solve. I cannot stress it enough-
gmatclub tests.
On to the next phase...
