Uuggghhh! I took the GMAT yesterday and
TANKED! I'm soooo disappointed.
Following are my practice test and real test scores.... Obviously, I'll have the pleasure of taking it again this fall.
I wasn't expecting a 700 (although that would have been nice), but was hoping I would score at or a little above my practice scores. I think I got a little flustered at the beginning of the quant section, which totally threw off my timing and I felt like I was rushing through. I think I fell into a lot of traps of picking wrong answers because I was rushed. I did slightly better on the Verbal, but just barely. On the practice tests, I was scoring in the low 40s on both.
Somebody tell me this isn't the end of the world! I want to apply to PhD programs in the fall, and I know I'll never get in with THIS score. Any other successful GMATers out there that have a similar experience? I could use some hope at this point.
