Wrote my GMAT
Total 770 (99%), Math: 51 (99%) Verbal 44 (97%)
I want to thank the MGMAT staff for their excellent work.
Below is my experience:
I started my preparation months ago. However, my preparation had been interrupted by many things:
my daughter was born, my wife got sick.. etc.
I first studied the evaluation questions of OG11 to get a feeling of GMAT
Then, I did GMATPrep Test 1 to see my start level:
GMATPrep 1: 710, Math 50, verbal 36
I then spent almost 2 months on OG11, OG11 verbal and OG11 math
Re-did the GMATPrep 1 again:
GMATPrep 1: 770, math 51, verbal 44
After that, I took the MGMAT sets:
MGMAT free: 730, Math 49 Verbal 37
I was kind of shocked by the difficulty level of Math problems in this set. I finished the math section only 1 minute ahead of time.
With a Ph.D. in sciences under my belt, I was very confident with my mathmatical skills. However, MGMAT math is difficult, but very
very good, as I found later on that realy GMAT math is not easy.
I found MGMAT math sets, and read them front to back.
2 days later, I took another set:
MGMAT set 1: 780, Math 51, Verbal 45
1 week before my exam: I took
GMATPrep set 2: 770 Math: 51, Verbal 44
It seems to me that both GMATPrep and MGMAT are predictive.
Feel OK with my overall performance at GMAT, though I am still a little concerned about my AWA score. Anyway, I hope I do not have to re-take GMAT
because of AWA.
Finally, thank all who contributed to the discussions in this forum. I really learned a lot here.
By the way, Manhattan Test Simulation Booklet and Marker are also identifical to what were given to me during the exam.
