Thanks for your words. The point of my initial post was to inspire. I remember how I,in the early days, would read debriefs on this site and get overwhelmed by posts like this:

"I finished my test today. I scored a 780 after 1 month of prep. Should I retake? My practice test scores were:

Kaplan: 790 (2 days of prep)
Manhattan GMAT: 760 (2 weeks of prep)

GPREP1: 770 (3 weeks of prep)
GPREP2: 790 (night before GMAT)

Actual: 780

HTH

This gave me no hope! But when I saw a person who scored

Kaplan: 600
Manhattan GMAT: 630
GPREP1: 640
GPREP2: 660

Actual: 700

I felt that I could do it too. Honestly, my scores were lower than these but I had already convinced myself that I was going to keep at it until I crossed that 7ft hurdle. When I post, I want that person who is struggling through problems nightly to know that if keeps grinding, he'll be here to.

Forever grinding,
