New MGMAT Scores

1I had taken another MGMAT test on 12/07 but didn't get the time to put up the scores. I took a test today too and therefore here are the two results:

12/07 MGMAT 3: 720 (Q49, V39)
16/07 MGMAT 4: 770 (Q51, V44)

You may notice that within a gap of 4 days the score has jumped by 50 points. Well, the jump vindicates my theory about knowing your quant fundamentals inside out and going into the verbal section with a positive frame of mind. Since taking the test on 12/07, I bought 3 MGMAT guides - Geometry, Equations and Word translations. I managed to finish all 3 guides by last night. The guides really helped in driving a lot of the fundamentals and corollaries.

I took the test with a very confident mindset. The quant section was tough as usual and I did struggle in a couple of questions but I largely came away satisfied. Later analysis showed that I got almost 8 questions wrong but it still left me with a Q51. However the larger effect of coming away satisfied with the quant section was that I was relaxed and positive about the verbal section. This resulted in the highest score I have receive till now in Verbal - V44. Analysis showed that I got many questions wrong (equally spread in the 3 subsections) but the happy news is that I still have more than 2 weeks to my test, so there is plenty of time to improve my verbal even further.

I have reset my target score to 780-790; Maybe even 800 ;). Let's see.
