Got it Done - 700 (Q50, V33)

[hitzs]

Hi All,

Today I gave my GMAT test and at last I was able to break 700 barrier...and satisfied that I don't have to go back to test centre again. You probably might have seen my previous score of GMAT (640), which i have exactly one month back. To say the least, I was totally demotivated after that attempt but for sure didn't underestimeted my ability....that was my strong point in these last 20 days prep....but last time's verbal score did affected my this score too bcz i was not that confident this time.
okay regarding my prep...

I included following in my prep: OG(11th), OG Verbal, theory part of kaplan, 1000's , Sets, and TM. This all i did before my first attempt and from there on i didn't studied much ...i just kept myself involved with GMAT through TestMagic and scoretop. Actually, to be honest, I wanted to reappear for exam with in 15 days but rule doesn't allow that ...so i had to wait for another 15 days . I won't say this is best way for retake but in my case this was the only possible case.

Test:

AWA was normal, but i hate writing, which doesn't make any sense at all...so i simply passed one hr.
Quant was as simple as it can....most of the questions were very similar to questions we discuss on this forum...Indeed I manage to finish quant section atleast 12 minutes before time. I got a questions on number theory, trick DS questions, Geometry, 1-2 on inequality and a few probability questions.
Verbal - Actually, before the section started i felt heat of my previous attempt even when i feel that i'm a take it easy type of guy....to be honest...this exam is nothing much than a stress management test. This time I started carefully and i think did well in my first 15 questions and I thought that i'm definitly heading towards a big one but then a big and complex RC came which broked my concentration and I took almost 15 minutes in that RC ...probably i got 2 wrong out of 4 RC questions...And from there on it was catch the train story......in last three minutes i was left with 8 questions including a simple RC...but i knew if i start reading it then i 'll just be able to read the RC...so i skipped and went to my favorite CR...and to add more i couldn't tick last question
After completing this section that I could have done much better after getting a good start...but anyway its past...n i don't even care much

thats all for now..... i want to sencerely thank to all on this forum for all the help, especially those who motivated me in last one month.....thanks a ton guyz...u are awesome!!!

Regards,
Ravi

What Was Your Mistake The First Time? It Seems Like This Time You Were As Preprared As The First Time

Thanks to all guyz!!

Actually, the difference between first and second attempt was only that in my second attempt I concentrate a lill more on first 15 Q of verbal...and i think it paid off...but unfortunately couldn't capitalize on that start and messed up a lill in end. Otherwise everything was almost similar...i believe other than ur hard work, it's just a test of concentration and stress.

lemme know if you want to know anything else....

Congratulations !

Can you tell me a little more on the quant do you think it’s the same level as OG or GMATPREP or it is harder as some people say it is.
Also did you see any JJ’S and do you think the Sets help?

Thanks
