Hi fellas,
I'm based in Melbourne, currently shuttling back and forth to Perth on assignment, and still studying the GMAT. One tough nut to crack!
Anybody else in Melb/Perth still working on their GMAT?
sapphireka - Wow, that's a high score. Congrats! Care to share some tips on your strategy and resources? Good luck on your applications!

Haha, thanks. My big tip is to just take tests over and over, and learn the patterns for taking them. SO you can walk into the test, and just look at a question and know how to do it. For the verbal, study your idioms, and make sure you are understanding the level of 'trick' in the questions. My key resources were:
This forum,
Official Guide no 12 (too easy)
The GMAT test download from GMAC (too hard!)
Princeton Review GMAT guide
Best place to find books is at Borders or Kinokuyina.
I spent 12 minutes on the first question in the maths section and totally blew my timing. I ended up guessing a whole bunch of math at the end. So if you pace yourself better than me, you'll do fine!
