Hi Guys,
My name is Vaibhav. I joined the club around 2 days ago. I am a Test Lead with a leading software giant with an experience of around 6 years. I know that it is a bit late to wake up and start preparing for the GMAT but I have made up my mind to give the GMAT this year, most prolly by October.
I have gone through in numerous pages in this forum and am confused on which books to buy for the preparation. I am quite poor in Maths, though the verbal and other sections could be my strengths. I was looking at a simple strategy to prepare for the GMAT and get a good score (Around 720)
Your assistance is appreciated.
Regards
Vaibhav
Hey Vaibhav,
You are in the right place. The forum has loads to offer. To start just do the following:
- Get acquainted with the GMAT, question types etc. You need the
OG to start with. Go through the questions and try to answer some.
- If you have done that already, make it a point to finish all the
OG questions. Do that very carefully. Make sure you understand the explanations properly.
- If you don't get some concepts or feel you are weak in something, you can look at other alternate sources as well. That you can post on the forum and people will tell you what.
- After you finish the
OG, take a GMAC practice test. If you are in the 650+ mark, take a date for the GMAT after a month or so.
- Now will be the time to consolidate. I personally like
MGMAT books. So I recommend you to go through those.
- This forum is invaluable. If you say you are weak in quant, just follow the quant sub-forum. People post brilliant questions everyday and they are solved by experts.
- If you get stuck, just post!
All the best!!
Regards,
Shouvik.
