Whether you are just beginning your MBA journey or fine-tuning your path to a 700+ score, GMAT Day is designed to give you a competitive edge.
Dear Gmat club members! I’d like to share with you the debrief about my GMAT journey 
About myself. I am Russian female, 28 years, GPA 3.99. Worked after graduation at Ernst and Young, audit department for 5.5 years. After, moved to Russian steel-pipes manufacturer (top 3 worldwide), headed Economic analysis department. Targeted at INSEAD, whish to become a consultant at McKinsey.
My GMAT journey started last March, so it took me 1 year and 1 month to reach the point. I was able to study mainly at weekends (abt. 6 hours a day) and sometimes at evenings (no more than 1-2 hours). For the first 2-3 months of my study I wasn’t aware of ManhattenGMAT and used miscellaneous sources from the internet. I also didn’t avoid a trap of diving into 700+ questions on this forum before learning basics After first months my approach became more traditional: I switched to Manhattan, Veritas, Kaplan, Princeton, etc. (well, yes, I really have an enormous number of these books and I’ve read almost all of them). I found Manhattan (all books) and CR bible very useful, gold standard. Also gmat club math tests are superb, especially the hardest ones. In addition, I strongly recommend Tuesdays with Ron sessions by MGMAT. I would not recommend Veritas, Kaplan and Princeton – value/time ratio of these book is quite low.
Before my first attempt, my diagnostics varied from 690 to 770 (MGMAT) and from 700 to 750 (GMATprep). After my first attempt (690 Q49, V34) on Jan’12 I subscribed to e-gmat and groockit, all of which I found really useful to boost my verbal score. For the last three months before my second attempt I started to read at least one article from Scientific American a day, which tremendously helped me in RC, and, know what, now I’m a real fan of this journal!) I also bought their book about love, which they published by St. Valentain’s day and found it amazing)
I didn't do any diagnostic tests before my second GMAT attempt, which occurred today, on 3th of April. I scored 740 (Q50, V41). During the exam, I wasn’t sure about anything, only little portion of questions seemed obvious to me. In fact, I felt that I wasn’t well prepared. I haven’t seen any probability question. I also haven’t came across any boldface passages, two peoples speaking with each other. However, I saw pretty much (about 3 or 4) questions, that asked to complete a paragraph. I was very surprised to see my scored, I felt like angles sang to me!)
I really want to thank gmat club members for their stories of success, which inspired me so much during my long-long preparation! Believe in yourself, GMAT is manageable and doable, even if it takes pretty much time for preparation!
