Hi everybody! I haven't posted a lot on this forum, but I've been reading so much! This site has turned out to be the best resource I have got to prepare for the test!
I took the test this morning: when the monitor showed the result, I couldn’t believe my eyes. 760 was far beyond my expectations!
I’m an Italian student at Genoa Public University, 23 years old, no work experience. I took the exam because I want to apply for a PhD. With 760, I think I will try and apply for the top ten EU and US universities.
Now I’m waiting for the official report to know about my AWA: I don’t think I’ll get an high score (as you can see, we Italians have always some problems with English... well, no, it’s just me. I have some problems!). However, I sort of understand that AWA doesn’t matter too much, does it?
I’ve been studying for two months, just in the weekends because I didn’t want to fall behind with my exams. I’ve used two books: Cracking the GMAT (princeton review) and the Official Guide 11th edition. The former has been very useful, the latter simply indispensable.
I hope my (little) debrief will help people find motivation and keep trying!

bro thats an awesome score...
what were your practice scores like, and did you feel like the OG11 was a fair indicator of the difficulty of the questions on the real GMAT?
You seem to have scored very high with relatively little effort and practice material =)
congrats and i wish you all the best!

Well, I hadn't taken any simulation before the test (I simply had no time), so I don't know what my practice score would have been. I've done almost all the questions on the OG. I reckoned a mistake-rate of 1/13 (in other words, I was doing wrong 1 question every 13, on average) for the Quantitative and 1/10 for the Verbal.
Actually, I didn't expect to strike it rich at the first attempt. I scheduled for a test before summer holiday, so that I would be able to take it another time in October.
I think that the quantitative questions were a bit more difficult in the real test than in the OG, whereas I found no difference for the Verbal questions.
