Congratulations on your score and your final decision! Best luck to your application! :tup:

Congratulations! Great improvement :) Good luck for your next steps!

Kunal, So great to hear your high score. You deserve it, a lot of your posts in TM. CONGRATULATIONS!

The MNC I have worked with is LG Electronics. Bungholio, so you mean I should contact to school about my English first, then apply? I will try and let you know. Tks!

GMATBong, tks for your kind words. I wish to be eligible to apply to top 10 schools too, but I heard that those schools often require int'l students to have TOEFL score of at least 600 (paper-based). Indeed, I contacted Fuqua and Fisher adcom and they both replied that they typical look for students with score of 600 or above. :( How do you think? Still continue appl or retake TOEFL then apply? By the way, what do you mean by "a blue club comp." ? Tks,

Hi guys, pls try these old JJs and good luck!

Thanks! As for Jul & Aug, there are more than 200 Math questions each, and for Verbal part, very few and most questions come from Gmatset. Payment is not made by day. You can select some options, 30 day-access , 60 day or 90 day. For example, I bought 60-day card on 21 Aug then I can access VIP material until 21 Oct. So totally, I will be able access Jul, Aug, Sep & Oct's JJ totally. My VIP membership still valids, if someone needs, I will share!

Thank you guys for your kind compliments. Here is my debrief, hope that it may help someone on the same boat. History 1st trial in April: 570 (Q47, V29) After several months of study, I made my first shot. The score was not good but I was optmistic that failure in the first attempt was normal and my second one would be successful. However, 2nd trial in July: 620 (Q43, V32) As you can see, my Q was down while my V was up just a little bit. I had spent whole 2 months (no working) on studying GMAT but still failed. At that time I was so devastated that I just wanted to give up everything,no more GMAT, no more MBA. :( That night, I couldn't help thinking about the reason for my terrible failure. I visited TM again, started to read debriefs of previous test takers (both successful and unsucessful ones), and in deed, those debriefs motivated me a lot, that was when I gained back energy and strength to continue. I told myself that "life doesn't end unless I stop trying", and believed that "people can do it, so can I!". Strategy to win in the last attempt Great thanks to Amit_ng for the GMAT YAHOO GROUP, I found a lot of useful materials from the group. The best is the testgrid (excel file) created by spiderman (I supposed). I started to use it to categorize my wrong verbal answers, then set up different improvement strategy for each. Again, thanks a lot, Amit! Verbal: - RC is my weakest part. I used to feel scared and incomfortable whenever I faced RC passage. How to get rid of such fear? I read many notes and advices of previous gmatters, tried several strategies but at last I found that the best solution for me is to read whole passage with real interest to know new things, not simply reading for the sake of reading. When my fear is out, my brain can absorb things much better. :p - CR is my weakness too. I realized that I used to run into a serious mistake of negligence. After reading the arguments, I sometimes could figure out the possible answer, then as soon as I got that idea in the very first options, I picked it right away. However, most of those picks were wrong since they could be the answer but simply not the best. Reading thru all options and using POE really work in my case. Quantiative: practise and practise. I visited TM daily, involved in many posts with detailed explanations, not simply wrote the letter A, B, as the answer. Pre-test Decision on the test date: I registered just 01 day prior to the test day. the time of the test: learning from experience of many test takers, I decided to take the test in the afternoon so that no matter how I slept that previous night, I could have whole next morning to ensure my sound mind. Morning of the test day: warmed up my brain by doing several hard quant questions and reviewed my verbal notes. then "G" time came AA, AI passed quickly. In quant section, I encountered some JJs, which saved me a lot of time and energy. :) I believed I did good in quant. Took a rest and continued with Verbal part. After 6 mixed questions of CR and SC, appeared a long RC passage followed by at least 5 questions. In the mid-section, I began to lose my concentration, at least twice the number "32" came up in my mind. :crazy: . tried to keep balanced several times and continue with determination. Click next to report my score, verbal 38... then quant 49... total 710! Hura, I did pass over the 700 barrier, I did it! :D Study material: OG 10 GMAT prep (reinstall several times) GMAT Kaplan Crack GMAT (Princeton review) Test Magic forum Gmat sets (Verbal parts) given by Amit Gmat sets (Verbal parts) & JJ from Scoretop forum ( I became VIP member of Scoretop 10 days ago then I could access all gmat sets, Aug & Jul's JJ with answers and explanations; as for JJ, I could get more familiar with how real questions were written) And I think it's worth! Again, thank you very much! I owe you guys a lot for my final score. It is time to continue with applications! Best fortunes to all of us! Hihi, my post seems to be rather long. :blush: .Thanks for your reading!

Hi all guys, I took GMAT today and got 710. So happy now! :grad: :D I would like to express my sincere thanks to Erin for creating such an golden site, to all gmatters for your contributions so far. Will write my debrief very soon! :p

OA I got is D but I disagree. OA of gmatset not always correct. And if ritz had it in gmatprep, then C must be the correct OA. still very weird then;)

C is good but "decrease in size" not paralleled with "less distinctive, less in demand". It should be an adjective, instead, and D suits best.
