My second test

Another weekend, another test....
This time, i was a bit cautious about the limited number of CATests that i have have, and so, i decided to plunge upon the Disclosed Actual GMAT paper tests, that ETS disclosed before Pearson took over from them...

I wrote the test with test code 14 today...
Before i landed in the office today, i had in my mind that i was supposed to give test 14...
But hardly did i knew that these paper tests have a different number of questions and sections than the CAT that we have nowadays....

I took a print of the paper and was just going through it when i found that it had 6 sections!!!
And each section had a timing limit...
Never mind, i said and started with the tests...

Section 1: Data sufficiency.... Was a smooth ride...
Section 2: Problem solving 1.... Was another smooth ride...
Section 3: Problem solving 2.... Was a bit bumpy, as i had some stoppers...

The three quant sections were over before time... I was just relaxing a bit when i got a call from my CHARGER... (guess who??) :)

Started with verbal sections then-
Section 4: Critical Reasoning.... Dont know why i feel that they are becoming easy day by day...
Section 5: Reading Comp... 3 very simple passages with 23 sections in all... was a cake wake, but
i missed on the time again.... Had to leave 4 of them unattempted...
Section 6: SC.... To be considered as one of my strong points... Was ok!!

After having another talk with my CHARGER, i was soon back to business... Had to complete the exciting task of counting my score!!

Started with verbal:
Section 1: CR - Just 1 incorrect and 15 correct... U ma... i was in command of the test now!!
Section 2: RC - Just 1 incorrect + 4 not attempted with 18 correct.... was still in command!!
Section 3: SC - Got dumped!!! Made 7 wrong and had 15 correct.... over confidence????

Quant:
Section 4: DS - 2 incorrect + 18 correct... Dont still understand why those 2 are wrong..
Section 5: PS - 2 incorrect + 14 correct... Silly mistakes, they happen sometimes...
Section 6: PS - 3 incorrect, which were all the stoppers that i had.... cant figure them out still..

The overall scores after a lot of struggle with the steps...
Quant: 44
Verbal: 40
Total: 670

Though 10 points less than my last touch, m a bit satisfied....
Had an amazing accuracy in RC and CR, the two most dreadful arise, is what is making me feel happy....

I can do it!! Touching 700 isnt too far now!!!
