Hi everyone,
I have been a silent reader for the past month, and now I belive is a good time to jump in and make my first post. I took my first Gmat exam yesterday and unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get the score I was aiming for and will be retaking it in one month from now.
I got a 630 with a split of 40Q 34V.
I was really confident on my skills and knowledge, since I had been scoring between 660 and 750 on Gmatprep tests the previews week to my exam day.
As a non native English speaker I knew that V was going to be my weakness in the exam, but I know I could have done much better than that.
My exam day experience:
I was actually relax and positive about my chances of getting a 660+. Half way through the Quant I started to feel the need of taking a “bio break”, as time passed that need just became painful; I had 15 questions left and about 32ish min to go, the need to take a piss right away made me rush through those last questions which I’m sure made my score drop significantly (no **** Sherlock, as some might think
).
After that everything just went down the road, I couldn’t stop thinking that I was going to get a bad score on Q because of those last questions, this made me lose my concentration on the part of the exam I knew I was weaker.
Yesterday I was kind of wasted and felt really disappointed, but after a good night sleep, I believe I have come stronger from this exam experience and with a very valuable lesson learned (make sure to empty the deposit before the exam j\k), if I had focused on the verbal instead of undermining myself about the previous section, I could have score better and maybe avoid retaking it.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and hope the lesson I learn helps others even if it is common sense
Ps. For that exam I cover the OG 11th and the OG verb and quat books, also did some of the gmatclub tests, what material should I get to start/continue with my Gmat prep?
