wow, good luck.
Through your last journey thread it seems like you went through all the recommend materials (MGMAT Guides and OG). What are you going to use this time? Any change in strategy?

Through your last journey thread it seems like you went through all the recommend materials (MGMAT Guides and OG). What are you going to use this time? Any change in strategy?

Yes :)

The primary changes are:
1. I'm going to use the book "Quantum CAT" to prepare for the quantitative part. This book is strictly meant for advance level students. It's the recommended study guide for an exam called the Common Aptitude Test (CAT). The quantitative part of CAT is unbelievably tougher than the quantitative part of GMAT. I will also use the GMAT Club Tests to consolidate my mathematical skills 8-)

2. For verbal, I'm going to use the book "Doing Grammar" to help me with the sentence correction and stick to the Manhattan book for CR (I might switch to the Power Score LSAT Logical Reasoning guide... haven't made up my mind yet)... For RC, I will do LSAT RC Passages for practice.

3. Instead of working on the weak areas alone, I will work on each area from scratch. What I mean by this is that I will not consider any particular area to be my strength or any particular area to be my weakness.

I shall post the skeletal plan in a while :)

I definitely recommend PowerScore CR Bible. It's a really enjoyable read and you will learn a lot from it!

I will check it out for sure. But quant is my first priority :)
Strategy for Quant is:
1. Go through "Quantum CAT" thoroughly. (a month and a half)
2. Do the GMAT Club Tests and review them thoroughly. (a month)
3. Do a fixed number of problems from the OG on a daily basis. (remaining time)

Entwistle, I LOVE your enthusiasm and optimism. I have no words here except BEST OF LUCK :-D

On a separate note, some schools have spring admissions and you could look into spring admissions. May be you can apply with your current score(and your score is DEFINITELY competitive ;-) ).

Thank you for all your support people! :D

UPDATE:
I was interviewed, this morning, by the Course Director of one of the GMAT Coaching institutes in my city. The interview went well and I've been asked to conduct a DEMO class this Thursday. There's a good chance of them offering me a job! This way, I can revise what I've learned as I teach the concepts to students and I can also add to my work ex!
The biggest benefit is that I'd be able to help others in their journey to do well in the GMAT and get to their dream B-school...

Wooooooooohooooooooo ~\m/~

ha ha :D

I'm not working with Manhattan man!

Anyway, the pay is not that great :) But I'm living with my parents right now and I have my own vehicle. So I don't mind the low pay. I'm taking the job because to teach the students, I would automatically be compelled to learn more ;)
