Thanks guys! You have been my sole source of motivation and competition :lol: . Here's my long-winded commentary about my prep and D-day. I was not comfortable giving advice. So, it's more like a diary entry than a point-by-point debrief.

Background
I recently graduated with my master’s degree. I started toying with the idea of an MBA after graduation, about eighteen months ago. I discovered GMATclub, searching for prep material. I generally pride myself as being strong in the verbal category (740 in GRE, which is still valid), but my first time here was a big revelation. I could not even differentiate between the five options for SCs, let alone find the right one.

I did not begin to prepare till this summer. Even then, I was trying to juggle my thesis submission and prep. It was late September when I started preparing seriously (as you can probably tell by my increased participation in the forums after that).

Quantitative Section
I was confident with the problem solving from the beginning. The challenge was to save time on the easy ones. I went through the practice problems in OG 10th and 11th editions, Kaplan, Barron and Princeton. Needless to say, the OG helped the most.
There were a few gray areas, especially probability, permutations and combinations, in which the club was my sole guide. But, even till the test day, I was not very sure about the tricky ones.
Data sufficiency was my pitfall in the quantitative section. I would constantly assume “numberâ€
