glad i'm done but a lil disappointed that i didn't break 700, but not going to complain tho.
Was pleased with my experience with Pearsons although it was a little cold in the room. They only let you bring the clothes on your back and your ID into the test room. NO SWEATERS(hoodies) OR JACKETS! So if you're gonna take the test wear a long sleved shirt if you get cold easily.
Score:
Verbal 40 90%
Math 45 74%
Overall: 690 91%
AWA
I thouht the questions were pretty easy although I felt rushed on the first question as there was more to answer (more to refute). The second question was easier although it did require some outside knowledge (really helped that i grew up watching the history channel!).
Math
Big surprise here as I was consistently hitting 47-48 on my math prep so i'm a little disappointed that i didn't get a higher score. Math seemed fairly easy but since I didn't score that high I can't give a fair judgement on how difficult the questions really were.
Verbal
Verbal was even a bigger surprise as I hit 90 percentile in verbal. Never gotten so high in all my prep so I was estactic with that score. I do wish I did better in math so I'd break 700 but again not gonna complain. In my 6 weeks of prep I did verbal hardcore for the first 4 weeks, the majority of which was focused on SC. Was scared on the test since it seemed every other question was SC but at the end there were 5 or 6 CS questions. RC was pretty easy as the passages were relativly short.
Prep
Like I mentioned above, 6 weeks of prep, mainly focusing on SC of verbal. No classes but i did buy delta course for math and though i feel it isn't worth the money it did help with my probability, even though there was only one probability question on the actual exam. I went into studying knowing that I wasn't good in (SC) and spent most of my time doing every problem i could get my hands on. Math was kinda an after thought as math didn't seem too hard.
GMAT Books
the Princetone Review book
the OG 11th
the Kaplan Verbal Focus book (not the real name but you know which one)
the Kaplan GMAT book mainly for its program.
OG is definitly the bible when it comes to the GMAT. Tons of problems well worth the 40 or 50 dollars i spent on it. Looking back I probolly really only needed the Kaplan Vocab Focus book and the OG book. I went a little over kill when it came to buying books but nailing verbal defintly makes it feel worth it.
My practice scores were so scewed that its not worth posting. I mainly used PowerPrep tests and I either did really good on math and terrible on verbal or vice versa. So if you took my high scores i really was POTENTIALLY scoring around 700. Glad i gambled i would put it all together on test day!
Anyway I'm mainly posting to thank the GMAT Club moderators for having this site. Definitly tons of good info here and the stories did help me in my studying. Thanks again!
