all the best guys.. if u need any assistance.. do mail me.. cheers.

I took my test last Saturday. AWA was ok.. Did fairly well.. Hope to see 4.5 in AWAs. When i got to the maths section, i completely lost focus of the questions. I was pretty sure I wasnt getting most of the questions right. Even though i didnt know the score in maths then i was pretty much aware that it would be around 46-47.(I got 47 in Maths.).So basically i was disappointed and tired. I made the most out of my break. I had fresh juice during the 6 mins break. had a banana, washed my face and started with the verbals 2 mins late.. Used the entire break time to regain my focus. Finished the verbals with 4 mins to spare. Got 44(97 percentile) in verbals.. Net score was 730. How i prepared for my test and some tips that might help you prepare: Maths was always my strong side. I never got less than 50 in maths in any of the practice test i took (which includes MGMAT tests, 800 Score test series, gmatPrep, GMAC paper tests.) So over confidence basically screwed me in Maths.. Still while preparing for my verbals i had adopted a strategy for such situations. I used to study verbals every day for 1.1 hours IMMEDIATELY after coming home from work.I am sure, We are all exhausted after coming home from work. So i used to solve 41 questions in 70 mins(not 75) and then review my answers and write down my mistakes, make notes.I realised the fatigue that was bound to creep in after the 1st practice test i gave. I didnt solve a lot of verbal questions: just solved OG10,OG12,Verbal reviews and some practice tests. Took 2.5 months for my Gmat preparations. But most importantly i used to put more time on review than solving each question. So that each week i was one step ahead and a little more prepared. so reviewing your mistakes,every time you make them, and making notes will definately improve your score in verbals. As far as the books are concerned i did all my verbal theory from MGMAT only.
