Hi, Appreciate your response ! I am from an engineering background but I guess my math skills have gone a bit rusty. I heard the Manhattan quant books are quite exhaustive, so I thought to stick with just the OG 13 and OG quant review. What do you suggest? Cheers, Viv

Hi bb,
I know you get this a lot but how will my undergrad score of 79.2% ( Engineering from a good Indian university) translate to GPA/CGPA for MBA admissions into American and European
universities?
Best Regards,
Viv

Yes.... there have been plenty of Indian applicants and most likely, you will be evaluated against other applicants in India.

Well I took a diagnostic test ( one from my private course that I am going to attend) and scored a whopping 500  !! Well I guess for someone who has not practiced at all ,I am not too worried. I got 80% of the questions correct ( infact finished verbal 15 min ahead of time and I couldnt finish the quant section at all!, ending up with a higher verbal score ) . So basically i fumbled on the timing and was getting tired staring at the screen for so long  . I will start practicing questions from now on and take the MGMAT or GMATprep , to get a more realistic score. I am not giving up till I hit 740 at least ! Cheers, Viv

Hi BB, Well I took my first MGMAT CAT 1 today and scored a disappointing 600 (Q43 V31)  Quant:43 Questions were much harder than expected and I was unable to finish the section( missed by 1 sec ! ).So I guess that would have hurt my score badly. Verbal: 31 SC went sort of fine I guess. ( 10 out of 15 right). RC : The first 3 passages turned out to be hardcore science! By the time I reached the 4th passage my brain was fried and I realized I had around 12 min for the last 10 questions or so, so literally skipped the passage guessing 4 questions in a row( which went all wrong), and I presume hit my score. CR: Got only half of them right. Well overall I messed up in timing and I know I could do better ( since this was the first time I took the CAT) . Hoping to hear any suggestions. Regards, Viv

Hi BB/All,
Took my MGMAT 2 today and score 630 (Q43 v33) .
I found the Quant section to be hard again.Does anyone know what Q43 will probably translate to on the real test?
Verbal : Did a lot better in CR, made silly mistakes in SC and quite bad on RC .Though this time around I could see improvements on my timing.
Will be taking the GMATPrep next saturday to see where I stand.
Regards,
Viv

Viv MGMAT quant tends to be harder than the real thing. The questions generally require more calculation and brute force than actual GMAT questions.

Hi All,
I seek urgent advice.I just took my second GMAT prep today and scored 640 (Q48 V30). My exam is scheduled on Tuesday 23rd of April.
My target score is 700 ( worst come 680 at least). I know I cant reach 680 in a few days time but I feel my concepts are clear but I just need more practice to push my score higher
So do I go ahead and write the exam or do I postpone it for a month or month half later?
Thanks.
Regards,
Viv

Hi All, Took the GMAT today and got a 620 (q48 and v 27). 48 in quant was expected but I was expecting verbal to come between 30 and 33 atleast ( which it was in my practice tests). Im going to take a break( have a holiday to Japan for a week from tmrw). So now that I have decided to give it one more shot , I am aiming for 680-700 in the next attempt in a months time or more. For Quant , I intend to to GMAT club tests and try to boost it from 48 ->49 or 50 For verbal, I guess im quite strong in SC but a bit weak in CR and RC. I just feel I need practice.I have no problem in timing during the exam. I intend to do the GMAT paper tests and take the remaining MGMATs ( I have 4 left) Can you suggest me more materials to practice with? Regards, Viv
