Hi Guys,
Got 680.
I had 580 on my first attempt mostly because I underestimated study time. Took around 8 months off and then began preparations again. Studied for 3 months early mornings (have a full time job) and took the last 2 weeks off.
Heres the breakup - Quant 44, Verbal 39.
I want to thank all of you on the forum for a challenging time. Heres my debrief.
1. Dont underestimate the simplicity of the GMAT. You can spend days trying to solve the tougher parts like Prob and Modulus, but when it comes to the real test it is highly unlikely you will face more than 2 of these. That is ofcourse if you are not one of those 750-760 dudes. Anyways get your basics right.
2. Solve simple problems fast. Once you've developed this skill on all the topics then move on to the tougher concepts. GMAT is a based on math skills but more importantly it is based on speed. If I was given ample time I'm sure I could solve all the problems quite easily.
3. The GMAT is a mental marathon. Especially if youve been out of high school and studies for quite a while. I run quite a bit. If I was running a marathon I wouldnt do 2 in a day. I found it quite important to be full of energy and rested on the day of the test. The GMATs not like high school where you stay up all night. You need the rest, this thing can get strenuous. Make sure you have the stamina for it.
Ok, thats that. Heres the stuff I used.
1.OG 11th edition - Obviously it reflects most correctly what the GMAT is about. I would advise that you spend the last 2 days looking through the last 20 Quant qus in DS and PS, look through the answers and the concepts explained.
2. OG Quantitative (Green book)
3.MGMAT - I used the SC - Highly recommeded.
4.Gmatclub.com - When youre lost in a concept log on. Theres always someone to answer your qus. Kudos to the community.
5.Manhattangmat.com - When you buy their books you get free online access. They have 6 CATS and a lot more. They are very tough compared to the actual GMAT, but dont let it get you down. The real GMAT is not that tough but it helps you hone your skills.
