Firstly wishing you all a very Happy and Joy-filled New Year 2011!
Last month has been totally crazy in a happy way! My sister and 5 yr old niece were here and so it was all fun and frolic all the time. Needless to add, my GMAT study schedule totally went for a toss. Though I did try to practice whatever I could each and everyday, there were more days when I totally didn't do anything and I am not one bit happy about it. :-(
But these things do happen and I gotta take stock now and move on. I didn't want to contemplate this when I was having a good time, then I wouldn't be in either of the place. So I enjoyed when the time was right and now its time to get back on track. Its always good to be present in the moment instead of in the past or in the future.
In between all the good times I also took a second GMAT Practice test. The result was shocking as I dropped down 80 points to 420. The break-up :
Quants - 18 Correct, 19 Incorrect
PS - 12 Correct, 8 Incorrect
DS - 6 Correct, 11 Incorrect
Verbal (21 Correct, 20 Incorrect)
RC - 4 Correct, 9 Incorrect
CR - 7 Correct, 4 Incorrect
SC - 10 Correct, 8 Incorrect
I did the very important extensive review and this is what it looks like -

Some other observations :
*Overall my score is 50-50 for each section which I urgently need to skew towards Correct ones.
*In Quants DS is clearly my very very weak part. Even while solving Sample Questions from OG-12, DS I score very less compared to PS.
*Usually RC I do well, but this test RC I totally got butchered and bad.
*SC I should have done a lot better since I have been going thru Manhattan SC.
*Reasons for my poor score(not excuses, I messed up and need to improve, as simple as that) :
1. Sitting and concentrating thru the test is difficult than I thought. Now instead of every month I am scheduling a test every 15 days to increase my endurance level and getting used to.
2. RC passage was very very dry and hence I was barely concentrating and moving to the next question in a hurry.
3. Not been studying as much I want, been way too distracted at home because of guests.
Now time to get back on track for a week as next week again I will be busy travelling for a week for a family wedding!
