Kaplan Destruction!

Was completely destroyed by Kaplan CAT Test and managed to score only 570 (Q34, V32).
However, this was the very first full test I took and I still have a very good feeling.

The reason for this destruction was that I had just taken the Kaplan Diagnostic test. This means I was already tired when I started the CAT. Add to it the extra 1 hour for AWA. I was doing well at the beginning of the Quant section, but faltered and had a streak of 7 wrong questions which did me. Was never able to recover after that.

Am yet to do the post-mortem analysis of my Verbal section, but somehow I think I am back on track. All of a sudden there is this enthusiasm in me to really beat the GMAT. And I am really happy that I am now in this mode. I just hope I don't need to postpone the exam.

The Kaplan Online Companion videos are awesome. They were just the kind of motivation I needed. Now I am sure that the GMAT is not at all a monster, but just a test where I need to apply my analytical skills. And to be able to do that, I need good sleep :)

Am really pumped up and will make sure I put on more updates now!

20 days to go!
