Alright, Nez just took the GMAT.
I scored 630 (V39, V38). Okay that wasnt 800. I know. I know about retaking to improve by maximum points. I don't want to retake. I'll apply. So keep your comments within scope. I thank folks here. Brent's sweet talking video lessons helped me break the 520 barrier during prep. I paid less attention to quant during my prep.
The experts in verbal forum of this club totally rock. I'm grateful. Not much on test day experience. The nondisclosure agreement's effectiveness is seriously weakened by the fact that what you see on the test day is merely rewording of stuffs you see in OG and Exam packs, especially the exam packs. So I was like, What's there to disclose after the exam? The quant was word problem-ish. Those similar to what you see in the OG: absolutely no deviation!
I must comment that luck or something played in my verbal. Most questions were SCs and that was my strongest point during prep(95%ile in the EP1). RC questions with seemingly no correct options also popped up(inference by connecting facts in two paragraphs). I skipped some of them. And it hurt my score. I think GMAT have upped their RC question levels from what i saw in OG.13(my opinion). CR questions were the usual stuffs you see, no exceptionally confusing stuffs you see from "Other-source-please-specify" sources in gmatclub. Pre-thinking is a good idea. @HKD1710's suggestions on Assumption questions really helped. I also confirmed that GMAT is very fair. You could feel the difficulty going up or going down as you answer questions. Frankly, it's strange to me how people say "I saw my score and was shocked! I was getting 800 in Veritas tests!" That doesn't look true to me, I'm sorry to say. You will know around where your score hover.
Towards the end my brain was tired, but the sweet orange juice i squeezed on the eve and took during breaks really helped. I avoided the regular energy drinks i used to take in parties. They crashed my brain when i tried them during prep tests.
Special thank you to Rich Cohen and Brent Hanneson. I really don't know what to do to reward those geniuses for the free top-notch advice they provide here. I didn't do any paid prep course. Not like I deserve an award for that
. It's GMAT club.
Here are the materials I used OG13, Manhattan GMAT strategy guides, Kaplan Premier, gmatclub.com
That having been said, the next thing is to apply.
I want to apply to Alberta. Some mid-ranked schools in Canada interests me as well. But primarily I have Alberta in mind, like my profile clearly suggests.
Now I'm going to need the experts in this admission and essay thing.
I heard the essay has to be very great, unique and so on.
I have not enough idea on how to make that happen.
My GPAs were 70% and 94% (Economics and Finance respectively).
3 years plus work experience in a micro finance bank.
Involved in free community service. that has been a part of me.
So who are the admission consulting professionals? Get me admitted to somewhere.
