First of all, I need to THANK many folks from this website.
Thanks for u2lover, Pelihu, GMATT77 and many others for inspirations and valuable information on GMAT.
I just came back from the test center with somewhat mixed feeling. (I meant to post this yesterday but didn’t get a chance to do so.)
Don't get me wrong, I was very grateful to see 7 on the computer screen.
But I was expecting somewhere between 710-730 based on my recent GMATprep scores and amount of work I have put for last two months.
AWA
It was not too bad. Interestingly, the topic of the ISSUE was from the OG.
MATH (50/51, 49/51 1st attempt)
I had to guess one problem which I spent 5-6 minutes; I should have moved on after 3 minutes but my desire for 51 kept me on this one problem for this long. Moreover, I finally figured out the answer for the question #37, which was bit tough, but as I was clicking the button to enter my answer the time expired. DARN!
From my practices, I constantly scored 50. So I cannot complain about my final result from this test.
As many other test takers already witnessed, I didn't see a single comb/permutation problem. Ironically, I had 4 consecutive questions
A1,A2,A3....An……
VERBAL (34/51, 31/51 1st attempt)
Once again, I had to rush through the last 10 problems on this attempt; I think this is the reason that I got a mere 34 compare to my average score - 39 - from the recent GMATpreps. I need to do a better job on time management. I just keep losing the track of time ):
I definitely need more practice. I really believe that practice makes perfect.
I am contemplating whether I should retake the exam or just focus on the applications.
Breaking into 720 seems reasonable, but I am not sure if the extra 20 worth additional month of agony and less time available for the essays. Any advice will be appreciated!
Stuff that I used for the GMAT preparation
OG10, 11
PowerScore LSAT (a great resource for CR)
Challenge (I did about 20 of 25 sets, I scored somewhere between 25 and 30 with 92%tile average ) Those who need practices on the Q section, the Challenge is highly recommended.
OG VR, QR
MGMAT SC, CR&RC, Numbers
KAPLAN 800

SC1000 (did twice)
I will post more information later!
P.S. I thank my wife and God
One thing I realized from the GMAT preparation is that not everyone is given the opportunity or circumstance to aim for MBA or any "Dream". I have been sick for three days recently, and obvisouly I could not study for the GMAT during these days. This incident made me to realize that having a good health so that we can focus on GMAT is such a blessing.
We sometimes take it as granted. My 2cents

great score once again!!! Congrats!!!
If you could only work on time management in verbal, you will get your 80th %tile for certain. I really think it boils down to that. Your quant is great the way it is, don't sweat it!
I got your PM obviously... and you know something about the dreams? You should never give them up, and if your verbal score isn't enough to get into your dream school, consider retaking it... but be more relaxed and work on time management.
Nobody should ever give up if the circumstances allow them to continue
good luck!

Ha-ha. ( it is bit ironic that some of people here break into 740 range with the 1st attempt... 
)
