I know the scores of these test don't matter but it is really nice once you get to that 700 score! I am really happy with my latest exam. Q-50, V-37.
The verbal score remains low but there is a specific reason for that this time around. I missed a bunch of questions right when the power went out (the heat wave in California is about to kill me with all these power outages!) and there was all sorts of activity around me and it was a series of reading comp questions that I missed. And since reading comp is my strong point, I'm not worried. I missed 6 reading comp questions, but only one sentence correction and one critical reasoning questions.
The quant score was fine. I had bad time management so I missed 4 of the last 5 questions and got everything else correct. Next exam I have to be a little more aware of the time.
All in all, I'm really feeling good now. My next step for this week is to take the two GMAC practice exams. Then the following week maybe try out a Kaplan practice exam. Or maybe I should reverse that so the Kaplan exam doesn't screw with my budding confidence? But what is most important is that I find an air conditioned, quiet place to take the exam. It's been very difficult to a good place to take these exams! The library has no wifi, my house has no A.C., and the coffee shops with free wifi have too many distractions. I may try my mom's house, but her internet connection is so slow. I'll figure it out!

Not all tests require an internet connection. You can download the GMAC tests onto your hard drive and take the test offline! Only PR online tests require you to be online.
good point! thanks :-)
worry not my friend (as Yoda would've said :-) ) Looks like you will do more than perfect on your GMAT. Or, let me out it like this, GMAT won't be the reason not to get accepted from a school. And since you obviously have a "bubbly" personality, I don't see the reason why not to get accepted anywhere u wish. By the way, loved the "Brand name whore" and "the fear of average" blogs! :)

Hmmm...Bubbly? That's a new one for me ;-) I'm gonna have to pass that one along to my friends next time they call me anything to the contrary! And thanks for the vote of confidence!
