First of all, thanks to all of you for your valuable time and creating such a wonderful way to study. Even though I was not that active here as some of you, I doubt that I would have been motivated without this great forum.
I just came back from test site and still in dilemma, whether to celebrate or plan for my next attempt, even though it may sound ridiculous to some of you.
First, the test experiece:
Quantitative was definitely much harder than OG. I almost ran out of time. There were lots of tricky DS questions that required a good amount of thinking. What got me was questions (a couple) that required calculation with fractions that did not reduce easily.
It was good that I took someon'e advice and did not spend too much time on probability and other not so common subjects. Yes, I did get a couple probability questions but they were simple enough to be solved by basic knowledge of probability. No deviation question in the test.
Verbal felt similar to OG, perhaps because I never got the harder questions! I'm really shocked with my low verbal score since I scored much higher in all my practice tests. Worse, I felt that test was going well during verbal and I was able to rule out all options other than the correct one almost all the time. I guess what got me was the first question, an SC, which I quicly confirmed and answered but then felt I should have read all the options thoroughly.
My take from this experience is that the first few questions are really crucial in your score and that no matter how aggressive you are about scoring high, do not underestimate the first few questions.
I was targeting a 750+ score and am planning to apply to top schools;Wharton and Chicago GSB are my top choices.
I feel that other parts of my application are not that strong. I'm a techie with 8 years experience, minimal charity involvement and extra curriculars. So, I wanted to make my score the strongest part of my application.
Now, I need to do some soul searching to figure out what to do next.
