First one down!
May 6, 2007 - 6:21pm — Itobean
So I took my first real GMAT test. Wow - that was intense. I completely bombed the quant section just like I thought I would. But I did great on the verbal. So now it's crunch time and tackle that math. I've devised a sort of study plan for it but I'm going to take this week off and do the stuff I haven't been able to do!!
The really odd thing that was hard for me was how amazingly quiet it was in the testing center. I had a really hard time concentrating. I'm used to music or something being on in the background. So from now on I'm going to study with no noise. And hopefully I'll be able to tackle the concentration issue.

Hi Ito,
All the best for the prep for your second shot at GMAT!!
For math, I think the trick is to focus on the average difficulty level problems as that would be the ones that increase your score. Most of the really tough ones that are available are sort of chancy-- For example, i did not get a single question from probability-- and i did quants sort of OK -- about 86 percentile.
Hope you get through! Do keep in touch through the App process.
Cheers,
