Verbal trouble on GMAT? Fix it NOW! Join Sunita Singhvi for a focused webinar on actionable strategies to boost your Verbal score and take your performance to the next level.
720 - Q48 V42.
Firstly, this a good score and I am aware of it. However, I was expecting to improve on it (I already have a 720 from last year). I've worked very hard on improving my verbal and the 42 is proof of it (last time I had a 40). However, exam day nerves let me down today. I am also disappointed that this breakdown didn't yield a better final score - I've seen scores of 750 with 49-42. Perhaps its karma (last time my breakdown was 48 40 and I still had a 720).
Finally I can't believe I scored a 48 in Q. I've hit 51 on MGMAT and have hit 30+ on the challenges several times. I am seriously considering a retake in a month's time. I'll clear my head out and think about it in a few days.
Test experience
Quant
It was pretty surreal, doing it a second time. However, some math questions made me somewhat jittery. Also I committed the cardinal sin of not moving on from a certain question in the middle. As a result, I always had half an eye on the clock. Normally I finish 10 mts early. This was not normal, I barely finished on time, and hence the score was not what I expected to be either.
Verbal
Now here is where all the hard work paid off. I had 2 very tricky SCs in the 1st 10. These, I felt, brought by score down, otherwise I could just see through every CR and RC. Also 2 glasses of water in the break was a bad idea. I was busting for a leak by Q21. That might have cost me another point.
In the end, I was gutted with the score. I really felt like all this extra effort was worth nothing. 1000 SC , countless hours at the club, 6 gmatprep takes, 25 Q challenges, 5 V challenges, 6 MGMAT tests all down the drain.
I didn't even feel like putting up a debrief, but all my friends here at the club who've supported me through all of this deserve to know.

BSD,
720 is an awesome score. Even though you didn't get the score you expected, you did really well on the exam. Your GMAT score will not keep you out of any school that you want to attend, that I can assure you of. By the way, do you mind telling us your performance on your practice exams, especially on the quant and verbal challenges? I am very interested to see your performance on those exams. Also, how would you rate the verbal challenge in your preparation? Did they help you at all?
Again, congratulations on a great score.
