HERE WE GO!! M.S.'s hopeful road to 700+ [#permalink] New post   26 Feb 2006, 14:08
Hello all.

I've just recently stumbled upon this site and am very interested/curious.

I am a 22 year old Industrial Engineering/Information Engineering student (completed 3rd year) at the University of Toronto. I am currently halfway through a 16 month internship which complete by the end of august. I will be writing my GMAT in hopes of being admitted into the J.Skoll MBA program at U of T. The application deadline is June 15. I have not yet booked my GMAT test appointment, but hope to do so for the end of April.

My goal is to achieve a score 710. Why 710? Because I’d like a 700 but would love a 710!

Currently I have the Princeton Review w/CD and the Kaplan 2006 CD.

Words of advice and motivation would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be updating this thread regularly with my progress/rants.

Hope to hear from the forum soon!

Welcome aboard!
Do take sometime to go through some successes and losses posted on the forum, it will give you a good idea of others experiences.
Have you taken a diagnostic test? it will give you some time to do a SWOT and then take a look at some study plans posted maybe to create a schedule for yourself.
All the best!

Thanks for the welcoming!

My initial studying plan was to allocate 1.5 weeks for math, 1.5 for verbal, 1 week for diag. tests and then another week for essay writing. However, this was before I read the experiances of others on this forum (planning on going through them tonight).

Today, 2/26, I've read the PR section on math and have finished the bin3/bin4 math questions. They are definately doable but I am stuggling with pace.

Is there a post on this forum which pertains to the acronyms used on this site? eg. OR, etc.

GMAT changes? [#permalink] New post   27 Feb 2006, 19:46
My plan was to schedule a test date tonight. However, 2 peers at work mentioned that the test has possibly "changed" from when they last wrote it (~2 months ago). Supposedly, ETS no longer admisters the test since a new company has come to place.

Will be studying materials still be pertainent?PR 2006 edition
Kaplan 2006 CD-ROM GMAT tests

I am thinking of purchasing the OFFICIAL GUIDE FOR GMAT REVIEW by ETS- will this be relevant or is there a new/revised book to reflect the changes.

I won't book my test until I have a better understanding of the situation. Hopefully that will be tommorow :)

Thanks all!

After reading most of the experiances on this site, it seems as though the the following materials would be suggested;

-PR
-Kaplan 800 for verbal
-OG 10th edition

Tommorow, hopefully my mba.com account would have been verified so that I can book my test for late april (2months lead time).

Here is my current schedule for the week;

2/28
-read PR verbal section, do BIN3 and maybe BIN4 questions if time time permits
-pick up the OG 11th edition from my buddy who is buying it for me :)
-book gmat appointment

3/1
-complete PR BIN4 verbal if needed
-do at least 25 SC questions from OG10

3/2
-do at least 15 CR from OG10
-do at least 15 RC from OG10

3/3
-practice test: kaplan2k6 test1
-review and identify weak areas

Let me know what you think...let me know if I should keep posting/if anyone is reading these posts :P
