Gave my GMAT today and scored an abysmal 620 (Q 39 V 35)
I was expecting something in the range of 660-690. So when the score of 620 popped up on the screen,it was bit of a rude surprise.
What aggravates me more is the fact that I will not be able to apply for fall 2012 programs.
My scoring debacle made its presence clear from my third MGMAT test. I scored a 550 (Q 34 V 36) on my very first GMAT prep test without any studies.
Here are the results of my MGMAT tests
MGMAT 1 650 ( Q 44 V35)
MGMAT 2 670 ( Q 46 V 35)
MGMAT 3 550 ( Q 33 V 32)
MGMAT 4 640
I have no clue why this started happening but from my third MGMAT test onwards, no matter how much I studied, my quant score continued to slide down.Verbal score has stuck around the same 35 region without any change even with a 3 month preparation time.
BTW I have gone through all the MGMAT math guides more than twice and solved all the OG 12 Quant questions twice till now.
I think my biggest problem with Quant is although I understand the concepts fine, I completely screw it up when I need to apply those to a problem.
Either way, I am going to take a small break from GMAT try hard and find out what is screwing up my quant score, re-evaluate my strategies and hopefully get a better score and apply in 2012.
Any help in re-evaluating my strategies/tips/tricks/prayer and sacrifice ideas for the GMAT devil are highly welcome.

Quick de-brief :
Quant : Questions were pretty similar to the ones seen on GMAT and GMAT prep tests.
Verbal : The verbal questions were some of the most difficult ones I have seen on any test.One of the RCs was seriously confusing.It was short but every sentence in that RC was convoluted and the meaning was twisted in such a manner that I had to re-read every sentence slowly to get a gist of what it was trying to say.I had 2 "complete the sentence questions" and one of them was very confusing.I boiled it down to two answer choices and both of them fit perfectly and made perfect logical sense while completing the sentence
Oh and one more thing : I was NOT ALLOWED to write anything on my yellow scratch pads during my break.I started writing the essay templates before the AWA section when the proctor came in and warned me not to write anything on the pad outside my allotted test time

Every other debrief is shocking .... i guess GMAC has made some changes, and we are still relying on the Old-material .. including OG-12 / GMAT prep software ....
