I could make it - scored 740(Q 50 V40)

[targetsep08]

I gave gmat a couple of days ago and scored 740. There 's nothing different that I did for preparation.
The only bad experience I had during the test was when there were 20 secs to go for my quant section to start, I realized my pen is not working. I raised my hand but nobody was monitoring the camera. I got the pop up- your time has expired , I had to click OK and still I dint have a pen. I rushed out of the room and found the guy who's supposed to attend to all this. He gave me a pen and till then I had wasted more than 2 mins. My heart was beating hard but then I tried to relax myself. So guys make sure that thy pen is working.

I am an IT female working in Pune. I make doing some R &D on colleges these days. Is there anybody who is woking on the applications and want to join me. Has anybody tried any admission consultant in Pune or anywhere else?

This is a fantastic score. Do share your strategies in Verbal... I am stuck at 35-36 in verbal and around 48-49 in quant and my target is a 740. The dexam is just a week away. Any strategies that you could provide to push me that levels in quant and verbal will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and congrats once again.

PS: regarding your applications, do let me know in case you need any help.

I gave my exam in Pune center. The center was fine besides the problem I faced with the pen due to the negligence of the staff there. Another funny thing was that washroom was outside the test center and everytime one had to lock and unlock to go to the washroom
