Again devastated - MGMAT CAT3 - 670 Q46 V35

I had time to look back on my earlier posts to understand my thought process and the way my preps have progressed. This post today reveals 2 things

1) Looking at the dates between the last post and the present one, it is easy to make out that something stopped me from posting on Sunday( the day after my CAT). If it were a good day, I would have posted on the day I took the test. I did not post because I scored very low on MGMAT3 – 670( Q46 V35). If practice scores are anything to go by, I might end up getting around 600 in my real GMAT because I have at least 6 more tests to take and the scores seem to reduce by 10 points with every test. The analysis revealed that 50% of my errors in verbal, the differentiating factor between a stellar 7XX score and a mediocre 6XX score, were in SC strangely. And in 90% of those SCs I ended up picking the wrong one after eliminating 3 of the 4 incorrect choices

2) The diversity of the posts( look at the number of posts with labels as ‘GMAT’ and those with something ‘other than GMAT’) reveals that there is nothing going on in my life except work, workout, GMAT. My social life is on hold and the number of unread messages in my gmail inbox reads 927( excluding ‘cheap Viagra’ and ‘help’ emails)


Everything I planned is going in for a toss. This despite being regular with the studies. I guess the results are what causing the disruption. I’ve taken a drastic step in my preps. I’ve decided that I won’t continue with MGAMT anymore and will move on to GMAT Preps. I’m losing momentum and getting disheartened with my low scores. So, this weekend will be GMAT Prep1 – a reality check

The applications are already out. Since I’m applying only to 2 schools in R1 – Chicago Booth and Kellogg, I’m still not freaking out.

All depends on GMAT

Oh, if you read my earlier posts, you would know that I hurt my shoulder trying to impress a girl at the gym. I ignored the problem thinking it will heal automatically. But I was wrong. I had to visit a orthopaedic on Saturday. The X-ray revealed an inflammation on the shoulder and the doc has advised 3 weeks of abstinence from gymming/sports( no over head movements). In addition that, I’m on ‘ultrasound physiotherapy’( I heard this for the first time) and medicines for 2 weeks.

Adios
