But according to me, the most outstanding achievement for an Indian student is No. 2 (a score of 99th percentile in Verbal); it is so rare that I rise up in celebration each time I see such a score. To score in the 45-48 range in the Verbal Section, you can't make more than one mistake in the entire Verbal Section.
As per the GMAC "Scores below 9 and above 44 for the Verbal section and below 7 and above 50 for the Quantitative section are rare." Check here
And lo and behold ... so many of my students have been breaking the Verbal 44 score barrier (and, needless to say, the Quant 50 barrier) rather easily.
The latest to join the ranks is: Abhishek Jha (V46, Overall 760). First attempt EVER!
Abhishek started with an accuracy of about 20% in SC, almost 0-10% in CR, and below average in RC. And he reached almost 100% accuracy on the main exam. This is what right guidance and superhuman passion to excel can do for you.
