Gave another test this morning and a result of overconfidence was this:
23/07 MGMAT 5; 730 (Q49, V41) !
The reason for the poor score on Quant was disregard for time in the first 25 questions. My first 25 questions, were all correct [99% till then] but after the 25th when I realized I was running out of time, I hurried on some questions and got some easy ones wrong and the last one went unattempted ! However I am glad that I was not frazzled by any question and was able to handle them pretty easily. I just have to manage my time a bit more and follow my own advise (see next post).
Now, on the verbal section it was a completely different story. I got 9 out of 14 CR questions wrong ! This is even more ironic considering that I have been studying for CR from MGMAT the past 3 days. I read in some forums that MGMAT CR questions are especially tough and the answers differ in a very subtle manner. I really feel that this is the case and the CR questions on MGMAT are not similar to the ones appearing on the actual gmat at all. Further proof of this is gleaned from my 93% strike rate on CR questions in the GMAT verbal section. So I am not especially worried. However, I put this up so future test takers can keep this in mind during their preps. [See screenshot of my verbal below; My percentile was down to 1 by the 4th questions!!]
Thankfully my SC has improved drastically; I answered only one SC question wrong. So my big weakness during the start of the prep has become my strong point; go figure!
