Elusive 700, remained elusive

Dear Mausam,
Finally the anxity is over. I got rid of the Gmat. At the end of it, I am disappointed with the outcome. My scores in the practice test ranged from 550 to 690 so I had no clue what kind of score I will finally manage. I obviously wanted to avoid the embarassment of scoring below what I achieved the last time around so I wanted something in excess of 640. So God decided to tread the middle path and granted me a score of 660.
I wish I had not undertaken the whole exercise in the first place. I wonder what God was thinking when he granted me this score, was he thinking, "This guy does'nt deserve much, just coz he is so desperate to avoid getting less than 640, let me just give him a score, a touch better", or was he thinking "He's been hell-bent for a score in excess of 700, which he just does'nt deserve, there is no way he can get even near that score".
Why did'nt I get 700?
Was there a laxity in my effort of preparation or Gmat is the correct measure of one's mental capabilities ?I will like to believe the latter coz last time I didnt manage any great score either.
The only positive to come out of today's exercise was that I improved my percentile in english by 44 though my percentile in quantitative reduced by 13.
But I am glad the embarassment has been avoided and now itz time to move on and figure out where I land.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

Don't worry Ajj Kaim, your score is good enough for you to avoid any college even remotely equal to Tangori (Though I doubt if there is any college in US which is even comparable to Tangori)

Haaa... finally, the wait is over and it was not as bad as you had feared it would be. It is still okay, just relax a bit and think over about the future course of action. Good luck.

I am from Tangori and made it to XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS, iift, SPJAIN and iitb. N buddy, if u take my word for it God wasnt saying anything except
" lets see if he really wants it that bad, if he did he'd give it one more try"

Dont blame anyone except urself. Tangori got u where u are right now.

usually i don't reply to comments. But anonymous I could'nt stop myself from replying to urs.
Don't get me started on Tangori, Tangori did'nt got me anywhere. It infact has been an experience which I would gladly like to forget.
I never said that coz of Tangori I got a relatively poor gmat, it has nothing to do with Gmat. I regret the time at Tangori for it did'nt provide me the kind of education it was supposed to coz I think I had better education in my schools rather than at Tangori.
and Mr Anonymous this is the 2nd time I gave my gmat, last year I had got 640, I am not foolish enough to keep giving gmat every year, afterall itz not the end of the world.
