750 Q50,v41

[absoluteyellow]

What a relief!!!!!
I took the GMAT a couple of days ago..But I just have a chance to share my experience here.Actually, I've been reading postings here for a while but I was not quite active.This is the first posting of mine.

First of all I want to say "Thank you" from the bottom of my heart..to Erin, Ursula,kongo09, and every one here. You guys are really cool.

This is my score

Quantitative -- 50 95th percentile
Verbal -- 41 93th percentile
Overall -- 750 99th percentile

About my preparation, I don't have much to say. I think Ursula and Kongo09 did tell everything we should do for the preparation already. I reccommend ones who aim to 750 up look at their postings carefully. I did so....and the result is just quite good. For ones who don't have much confidence about yourself..I have some facts to show to encourage you..I did full three GMAT CAT exams (Actually, I should have done 4- 5 more).And these were the results.

Powerprep1 640...(touched 25% of OG at the time)
Kaplan 570...(Kaplan is far harder than the real one. Don't try kaplan before the real test unless you want to discourage yourself)
Powerprep2 680...(touched 75% of OG at the time, 2 days before the G-day)

As you can see, I shouldn't have got 750 right? But after I read Kongo09's post, my attitude towards the GMAT has been changed. At the moment, I believed that I could get 700. And that the most important thing.His post is really cool!! Thanks again Kongo..

By the way, I did really bad in the writing part because of my really bad preparation of this part.. I didn't finish the second essay properly; moreover, the first one was not good. Frankly, I don't think I will get more than 3.5.

Everybody, I want to read your comments about my writing part....Should I retake? How important is the writing part?

Sorry for my grammartical errors. I barely write in English in my country.

With a verbal of 41 and good admin. essays, you have nothing to worry about, especially with a 750. I wrote a HORRIBLE essay & still got a 4.0.

even i felt i didnt do the essay greatly, i thought i will score a lot less. I was pleasantly surprised to see 6.0 yesterday when i received the official score. as ERIN pointed out they look for some pre defined elements such as take an example and detail it etc. so dont worryu. also writing part is not very critical in fact most schools dont event look into it. (correct me if i am wrong, others)
