On the side note, one secret tip to success for people attempting gmat, even if it's the first attempt or third, if this exam will change your career completely. GMAT is a adaptive exam as we all know and grows stronger as do we at the same time, but its has a secret weapon that is the strongest to conquer. That secret weapon is STRESS. If GMAT even gets a whiff that you are stressed it will knock you down so bad you wont even see it coming. Preparing for GMAT is like a journey, enjoy it completely till the D-Day and you can definitely defeat it. This is just a brief post and I will be making another post on to efficiently use the quants and verbal forums to squeeze the most out of it.
