So Superman is not the only individual who had come from Planet Krypton.

MrFong, I shall believe this is true, as I trust every other comment posted on this forum.. But I hope you understand that how difficult it is for me to relate to this...

Could you suggest some books which contain drills and problems in the range of 760 and above. I heard about the Total GMAT Math but some say that is not enough and suggest the Extreme Maths Challenge (by the same Author). And do anybody of u have an idea about the EZ solutions..?
And do u have any idea about good verbal books too. ?

Kansas,

You may find this thread useful some-of-you-requested-it-so-here-it-is-a-120-page-ebook-112282.html

We generally don't recommend books unless you really learn well through books. There are a lot of things we cannot show or describe to you in text format. Only through video can we show you how we think through GMAT questions and what details we pay attention to.

Hope that helps.

Okay I just watched the video and I have to ask: How does an American get an accent like that? He said he's a final year uni student studying abroad - did he mean over a lifetime? Wouldn't someone as brilliant as Kelvin know the difference between studying abroad and growing up in a different country?

I'm just wondering.

I'm still a couple of years away from even starting my application process, but I figured that taking the GMAT early was the smart play. More time to study for it before I start full-time employment, and less to study (no IR segment at the time I took the test).

Wouldn't someone as brilliant as Kelvin know the difference between studying abroad and growing up in a different country? I'm just wondering. I essentially grew up in Singapore, if that answers your question. It has its drawbacks, but on the whole it's a pretty great city. You should visit some time. As to the difference between studying abroad and growing up in a different country, well - "abroad" referring to "outside of the US". Would you not consider someone who grew up outside of the US as having studied abroad, or would that term be strictly reserved for students on exchange programs? Maybe it's just a little bit of... miscommunication. arun1984 wrote: come on.. be realistic .. r u a superman or what.. if what you said is really true ... then you are wasting your time in MBA.

But now he believes it. I wanted to congratulate James not only on his 770 score, but also on his$93k MBA Scholarship to London Business School !!

<-- Did you notice the "not only..but also" construction ?

By second essay do you mean the IR section

His GMAT was in Jan 2012, IR was introduced in June 2012.

Anyway, people have scored 800, so 780 is possible. He may be over-exaggerating about time and his pre-preparation level. As long as it is 760+, doesn't matter your hard work or your luck that clicked.

But to judge GMAT Pill, we need to see the median GMAT Score, not the top scores.

No doubt, their sample videos are excellent.

Excellent score !

I am very keen to know how you managed to complete the test with 65 minutes to spare ( 25 for quant and 40 mins !! for verbal )

Please share tips. Also With such a splendid score where are you planning to apply ?
