Dreaming of giving my GMAT again

Plans of giving GMAT has been on paper for long time now. But it never fulfilled from last year since i could not re-start the preparation.

In the process a lot has changed. I am settled today in personal life and now i feel that i need to restart the preps. Before re-starting the preparation i wanted to see if i can refresh anything. i have been getting emails of Kaplan free computer adaptive test for long time. Unfortunately from last one month i have registered for this tests but due to my work pressure i could not take them.

And finally i took it last saturday. Results of the test were pathetic. But more than that, what surprised is that there were some questions for which i took long time to solve. While there were others questions for which i could not recollect the formula or narrow down. frankly speaking, after half an hour into the test i just wanted to give up because i was getting frustrated. But then i decided that this was not the time for frustration and rather try to complete the test.

During the process of test i could see stars but was determined to complete it. Atlast i did complete the test. Score is below.
