Nothing unusual or spectacular.
I am a 34 year old software engineer. Graduated as a Bachelors in mechanical engineering from a reputed university in India. I have been working in USA since last 10 years and thinking of enrolling into an EMBA program - possibly Wharton West/Berekely Columbia/Duke Fuqua. My scheduled date for GMAT is 8th Dec 2005.
Started studying around 1st October 2005. So far I have used
OG 11th Edition and Kaplan Math Workbook. So far my performance on practice test have been below average I guess:
Kaplan 1: 540
Kaplan 2: 540
Kaplan 3: 550
PowerPrep 1: 560
This weekend I plan to take additional computer based practice tests - probably from the Princeton Review CD or 800score.com My study pattern - around 2 to 3 hours almost 5 days a week and on the weekend - around 5 to 8 hours. I am dreaming to score 700+ but will be glad if I can score anywhere above 680+ One thing I am doing consistently is keeping a meticulous records of my mistaked I made in
OG 11th edition problems. Once I finish the book (I am done with PS and DS; still working through RC/CR/SC) I plan to review all the incorrect answers at least twice before the real GMAT.
There is still one more month for the real GMAT and during that period I hope to gain skill/confidence to achieve my dream score.
Thanks for reading.
