A Fitness mat, some Music, few books and The GMAT. [[My BLOG]]

Welcome to my Blog, fellow GMAT enthusiasts.

I am sure by now most of you have realized in order to score a decent 700+, the first thing that is required is COMMITMENT and the second thing is SELF-BELIEF.
In my opinion, both of them are actually interrelated. How? you ask.

Well, Commitment means "the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc." I assume if you are reading this journal or blog of mine and have paid close attention to how I have addressed you all, in the beginning, i.e, fellow GMAT enthusiasts, you are pretty much aware of what I mean to say.
If you spend too much time here in GMATCLUB (like me) practicing, looking out for new questions and notes that you rarely check Facebook or any other social sites, then my friend, you are one of the Enthusiasts. But my aim here is to use it my advantage.

I firmly believe I would rather spend my six months thinking solely about GMAT than not being sure about what I want to do and spend two years planning about my MBA and taking half-baked shots at the exam.

"Commit yourself to think about GMAT all the time. Commit yourself to creating your own success story."


Self-belief or self-confidence are thought to be the way that you feel about your skills, abilities, and behaviors. A person who has high confidence levels may learn things quickly. Personally, I consider myself a very optimistic person. The reason being I have not yet taken the exam or fully prepared for it, but here I am ranting about it. You see, I am an Engineer who left his field and went and did some Creative writing and Copywriting, only because I wanted to be in a field that is a little creative. Now that I help my family in our family business, I guess I have quite some time in my hands to look ahead in my career by taking the GMAT and getting into a Business school.
I believe if we COMMIT fully to something it will undoubtedly help us take our Self-Belief to a much higher level.
And hence, this is my approach to the GMAT. I don't know how much I will score but the fear of not getting a high score should not stop me from giving my best shot.


I am very much like most of the guys out here. I want to get a 700+ score in my GMAT.
I plan on applying in ROUND 2 this year. Haven't really selected any programs yet. But I want to clear my GMAT by October first week at least.
(I don't have enough information on how to really search for MBA programs and judge them accordingly.) So it is my second-priority task for next 2 months to understand the complete journey of how to select a suitable MBA program, first being, obviously, cracking the GMAT with 700+.


And as Brian from Veritas often refers to someone's quote that goes something like " Don’t mistake activity for achievement.”
This is the reason why I am here writing this blog and sharing my feelings and my study and fun schedule with everyone. Like-minded people aiming for the same thing are more than welcome to join me here. Would love to follow you/ your diary or blog if you have any.

I firmly believe in creating small goals and smashing them. Hence, my Blog reads "A Fitness mat, some Music, few books and The GMAT. "

Fitness Mat --> I have a vision. It's been so long that I have given any test that I have to go with this slightly absurd or weird approach. I am an existentialist so absurdism is something that I passionately follow, apart from searching for the meaning of life, which in itself is absurd af .
I want to enter the exam center in the best shape I have ever been in my life. The main reason is to avoid stress and fell much better and lighter.
Hence, Fitness Mat is my companion in this journey.

PS -- There's a reason why most test prep companies ask you to be stress-free and more confident in your approach when you enter the exam hall. I am just trying to take it all in and feel the love for my GMAT from the start.

Music --> I thought of adding it here because I am sure I will end up mentioning the playlist I will be using during my workout and even during long sessions of Quant practice. I prefer good Post-Rock or Instrumental or Shoe-gaze during quant practice sessions. It helps me sit my bum down for 2-3 hours straight.

Books --> There are a few fiction and non-fiction books I plan on reading during this time of my preparation. I believe some of them will directly or indirectly help me improve my reading habits and increase my comprehension. I actually like reading. But time is always a constraint.
Ps -- If you don't know about this website called GOODREADS, please check it out. It's THE website for readers.

The GMAT ----> I need not mention anything about it now here in my first post because most of my blog posts will only deal with it. I plan on writing a post every 2-3 days with the updates on what and how I am learning. I will try to update my Mock results also here just so that I keep on track and take as many mocks as required. I will mention all the RESOURCES I will be using along with some details in the next post.

This is supposed to be a personal blog. But I welcome any and everyone who feel they have same goals as mine and would like to join and form a team and demystify the GMAT together.


I will cya soon.
Till then. Stay safe. And KEEP GRINDING.
