My exam is on Monday - three days to go.
I started on my last
mgmat practice test today and decided to do the verbal section first. Verbal is by far my strongest, and the reason I take it first is so that I feel can feel good about myself going into quant, whereas if it were the other way around, I'd probably start the verbal thinking I had bombed quant (because i usually tend to do so.)
Long story short. 4 questions into the test and I started to worry that I had gotten the 3rd one incorrect. All of a sudden my mind became hazy and I literally could not figure out head or tail of what the question was asking me. This continued throughout the rest of the test and by the time I was done, I was sure that I'd completely screwed it (probably like a V 20 or something). The tons of glaringly easy questions that the test was piling upon me during the second half was a sureshot indicate of this.
I was so out of it, that I decide to just skip the entire math + IR + AWA just so that I could see my low score and sink further into depression.
Final score: 410
IR: 0
Quant: 0% (somehow it still gave me a score of 6? not sure wtf that means)
Verbal: 45 - 99%
Excuse me? what's going on here?
Is there something funny with
MGMAT verbal?
I'd gotten, a 45,32,38,37,40, on my previous five attempts, and i distinctly remember thinking to myself that I had nailed the verbal on the previous attempt (before it a 37 popped out at me).
Its 3 days to my test and I'm stressed as hell at the inconsistency of my scores.
On the official gmat prep, my verbal has been 40 and 40. I just bought 2 extra ones and plan to do one later in the evening.
Did i get lucky? Because I don't want luck to be the factor the decided if i get a 32V or a 45V. Hell, I want a 51 V (to make up for quant).
I don't even know why im typing this post. A rant perhaps. I just want some assurance. Someone to tell me, 'Hey Cal, luck alone can't have been responsible for 4 90% scores on verbal
Also, any tips on getting thoroughly depressed midway through a sections? Like breathing exercises or something? I donno lol, I'm so done with this bloody thing.
Edit: I should also probably add that I had to pause like 6 times during the last ten minutes to go wash my face, and then skim/guessed the last 6 answers in over a total of 1 minute and got them all correct.
