Princeton Test #1
Finally wrote it !
No great Scores. 620. V 34 Q 42
The Quant experience :
The Verbal review :
Frankly, GMAT verbal is no joke. It scares life out of you to concentrate for 1hour 15 minutes on verbal content.
All in all an ok verbal score in the making. got the first 9 question correct. ( good job ! ) flunked the 10th and then by the time i passed that ultra boring RC to the 23rd question i was exhausted. Got 3 incorrect in a row ( 24,25,26 ) and then the a sinusodal curve follwed on the # 27,28,29,30,31. Got every other Question incorrect. Add to the fluctuation, i was extermely bad at timing the test. could attempt only 36 Q. The 5 questions that i could not attempt beat the already low score.
The take away :
The next test is due sometime in this week.
No great Scores. 620. V 34 Q 42
The Quant experience :
- Not reading the question properly, fell in a an answer trap.
- Silly calculation mistake.
- Pace - could not attempt the Question # 36 and 37.
- Made wild guesses on #34,35 as well
The Verbal review :
Frankly, GMAT verbal is no joke. It scares life out of you to concentrate for 1hour 15 minutes on verbal content.
- A dull RC dampened the sprit ( !! eh ! no matter what keep the spirit high)
- A couple of confusing CRs
- A couple of Confuging SCs

The take away :
- Need to time the tests well. Cannot afford to leave questions unanswered
- Need more reslinence to sit through the test and focus on all questions equally.
- Need to be more attentive and avoid silly errors.
The next test is due sometime in this week.

Nice analysis..this helps a lot. Ensure that you do not make careless mistakes in Quants, tht is the easiest way to get 700+.
You are already at32 in verbal so with more practise you would surely do much better..
Go slow for first 10-15 qns and then pace urself up so that u fnish all on time.. good luck

Hey ! nice words . Thanks !
Took my 2nd Princeton test today.
You know want 31/37 was my raw score. No questions unattempted. The biggest mistake i made was a silly wrong click on question 2 .. I wish i was a little more focused. that actually marred my chances on the remainder of the test. I was certainly pissed with the wrong click but managed to keep cool in rest and fared well.
