hey..
just leave all ths...n give it atry again....
thy prep scores are too good...just chill and do not attempt any questions before the test day..just have a look at the formulas...sleep well..n read some newspaper or somethng on the test day which most humbly and respectfully would get u in mode of reading befire the test....
as far as red bull id concerned....i just took orange juice with me ..n i think it works pretty fine...

It is available at Appa Balwant chowk , Computer Hut shop , 4th edition ones available for Rs. 1200/- each and 3rd edition for Rs. 600/- each

The problem with Red bull is that it is duretic , do you know anyhting that stops you from going to the loo within 75 minutes of section time.

There is one good news , GMAC has taken note of the problem and are investigating the issue, basing their investigations on the audio video recording , taken at the time of the test.

Your gmat prep scores are excellent.Personally i think the low score was due to your nervousness, next time just take the gmat as if it were thy prep test..its just another test after all..an u can retake it so many times..
good luck!

Congratulations!!! That's an exceptional score

What's your Q and V breakdown? How did you prepare for the second time?

[ashman3in]

Q50 V42 was the breakout , I did not do much prep after my I attempt as I felt that circumstances led to a low score. For verbal the best books according to me are :-

Manhattan for SC
critical reasoning Bible for critical reasoning
For reading comprehension I guess you have to make your own strategy what suits you . For me it was to read selectively and crack the main point of all paras.

Quants :- Get any book to review formulas and practice .Most important be very thorough with the OG questions , no other QB can imitate them.A lot of research seems to have gone in writing the same.
