The day is nearing and where m i heading????

A mixed day from every aspect. The most satisfactory thing of the day was that I was able to stretch my limits and was able to take 2 full length tests in a day. Wow!! And the worst thing that happened today was when i found that the hard disk on which i had kept my GMAT material was formatted.... :(:(:( I had transfered most of the material to my new system, but some of it, which i had stored in C drive was all gone... But the best part of it is that i dont remember what all i had with me, and so i dont regret so much as time left with me, is just sufficient to cover the remaining material i have... :)

It was a Kaplan morning today... The last of the four tests... Just when i started taking the test, i was confronted by a pop-up which said "Due to lack of questions in the database, take this test as a practice test and do not consider the scores". Hmmm... interesting i thought.... Started with quant, was in no mood to write AWA.. Fount all the questions very new for my eyes.. Dont know that message meant? The performance: 4 incorrect, scaled score: 45 (low probably coz i got the 1st question wrong) Coming further down to Verbal, found a few questions familiar... Good performance this time... 12 incorrect, scaled score: 36

The overall satisfaction rating of the test was 4 out of 5, but the low quant score brought the overall total to 650.... Too low, but characteristically good for Kaplan.... Nways, time to bid a farewell to the Kaplan 2006 CD... It has been a real eye-opener at times, not only becuase of its level of toughness but also because of its minuscale fonts... :):)

That hard disk format problem also meant that i had to give my GMATPrep - 1 again to have newer questions in GMATPrep - 2. Started with quant.. and was confronted with questions i had solved twice... But the level of toughness increased in the later part of the test.... Thought i performed satisfactorily at the end of the section.... Verbal... RCs were something i least prefered at 9 o clock in the night... But had 5 of them... Was feeling very tired by the time i ended the test...

The scoring was something like this: Q50 (10 wrong, with only 1 wrong in top 20)
V35 (just 10 wrong, but with errors spread throughtout) Overall score 730...

Though this score no way reflects that i can definately cross 720 in the finals, my confidence now says that 700 is certainly on cards... Keeping my fingers crossed... And hoping to have a better test day tomorrow...

Chow....
