ThankYou very much dear gmatclubbers.
I managed 700 today on the real GMAT.
I knew it...I knew it by the time I finished my 3rd RC , I certainly knew that RC literally hanged me, it crushed me. I have no words. I am extremely satisfied with my score, but hey, when you realize what went wrong , and that too while you are in the test, that feeling is terrible.
I read numerous debriefs on this forum. For all those people here are my Million Thanks GMAT Club.I followed almost all the tips. Everything went fine. Until I saw a beautiful one and half page RC.I was very calm. Controlled aggression. I was in control of time. Just spent approx less than 2 minutes on each every question. Then when I was in mid twenties, came this beast RC.I slowly marched through the passage. I was taking notes. Everything looked perfect.Just as I finished 2nd paragraph...I realized..I didn't get it. I went back. Re read everything.It made sense. Then I read 3rd paragraph. Again stumbled. Again went back..Finally I understood the RC. But I spent around 12 minutes.Terrible mistake. I realized that the test got me.Thats it. That was the beginning of the end. I have no words. Everything happened right in front of me. The test took the control. I could not come out of that 15 minute RC Shock. Guys I know 700 is good score. I knew I may not deserve more than 700 at this point. But come on..seriously guys.. this is the worst feeling. Please don't get me wrong.I am not complaining about my score. It is just that I was in control for two and half hours and the damn thing just took it from me.
My RC strategy: Just understand the passage completely. Thats it. Nothing worked for me in mock tests.
Q,SC and CR were in line with GPrep.
Once again, my whole hearted thanks to all the participants here. I did not publish my test date because I get more stressed.
Quant - did Challenges (around 15). More than enough.
Good luck guys. I will re-start my prep with RC after couple of days.
EDITED: Got 6 in AWA.
Many Thanks dear friends!
