Hey all. I just finished my gmat yesterday, and got 720. I wanted to share my experience.
Few things:
- I initially took the gmat and got a 640 because i had never practiced timing and had to guess last 8 questions in quant and then i got too discouraged to concentrate on verbal
- Timing is VERY crucial. Practice timing. I think the method of having 50 mins after 12 questions and 25 minutes left after 25 questions is best.
- [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip] is the BEST way to do well in this test as well as the paper tests. I initiallly spent months poring oer Kaplan/Princeton, but [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip] is really the best practice and most indicative of what kind of questions you will find.
- Do not be nervous, one does much better than expected. Nerves will just not help you perform well
- An afternoon time slot worked much better for me than a morning one, I am not a morning person.
- Dont stress about probability, I only got 2, and they were very simple. In my earlier test, i overstudied and then took Delta course, which only confused me. It's just not required.
Hope this helps! :)
