700(Q:49, V35)

Took the GMAT today and scored what I thought would be the minimum I should get - 700. Not happy about the verbal score though - only once I got such a low score in the mocks. Having said that, my section scores just reflect the amount of effort I put in the respective sections. I have apparently overrated my verbal skills :)

GMAT experience was just normal. It did nothing to upset me. I think I have upset myself by not performing to my potential. Entire test felt too easy. Then itself I sensed something's not right.

I am happy that I touched the magic mark of 700.

    Hei - Congrats on reaching 700. Although lesser than your scores in practice exams this is a decent enough score for most schools. I am taking a series of tests as well and peaking around 680/690, very demotivating. My exam is just 3 days away and my target is 750+ [which I have never breached as you can see]. Other than going with a level head for the exam any other last minute tip for me?

    @anandbal795 Thanks for stopping by :)

    1. Just make sure you have a proper timing strategy. Every 5 or 10 questions, check whether you are on right track or not. It's easy to get carried away. I was going way ahead of time in my quant section and stopped checking time and spent too much time on a question which messed up my timing. If you don't have a timing strategy then I suggest going through Stacey(from MGMAT) post on BTG about time management.

    2. Don't lose focus in the verbal section. I even suggest closing your eyes for a sec and opening them before going to the next question.

    3. Do practice AWA at least once before the test. I directly wrote my first essays in the test. I was cramped for time in the analysis of issue and ended up with 5.0


    All the best.
