Sitting by someone distracting definitely makes a difference. I took the FE (Fundamental of Engineering ) a couple of years ago and I sat beside this guy who didnt wear any deodorant. He sweated through the entire test and I thought I might die because the smell was horrible.

In general, at the GMAT test center, if there are only a few people taking the test, can you request that the proctor sit you away from others?

Congrats rawjosh!

You can definitely request the proctor to let you choose a seat (again this is dependant on the center). However, in my case, I chose a seat that had no adjacent candidates. However, after 2.5 hrs into my test, I suddenly found a guy adjacent to me, that too right at the start of the dreadful verbal section. This is certainly something that you cant avoid.

Hi,
First of all congratulations...
I appeared for GMAT last year...
While practicing OG 11,GMATPrep i always scored between 600-700 but on th exam day i scored merely 540.
Planning to retake...but can you suggest me what was wrong in my strategy last time.
1.Did OG11
2.Glanced through Kaplan/Princeton
3.Did verbal from Manhattan guides

What should i do newly this time?Please guide...

A score of >700 was well within my reach but unfortunately the guy sitting next to me started typing his AWA essays 5 minutes after I started my verbal section and this really affected me. But I don’t have any regrets towards my final score.

The test questions were at par with OG-11 and GMATPREP. For Quant, if I may say, this forum alone will guide you to a score of 48+. For Verbal (all the three sections), OG-11, GMATPREP and this forum will be more than sufficient. I would like to specially thank Krovvidy, larbgai, lurkman, Lisa and Ankost for helping me with my queries during my preparation.

Please PM me if you have any questions. Also, let me know if you need any specific material. I can forward you the soft copy if I have them.

Also, for those who had PMed me earlier requesting for material, please PM me again with what you had requested for and I will send them over to you as soon as I can.

This forum is great and the more you utilize it, the more you will score.
