Couple of words about my preparation. I started 2.5 months ago after searching through internet by ordering PR, OG11, Kaplan 800 from amazon. Only 2 weeks ago I discovered M SC guide and, in fact, in the beginning I chosen a wrong way of my verbal preparation. I didn't analize my weak points and just jumped through list of questions counting my hit rates (very bad accually). Now I become smarter (I hope :)) and next 2 months will be completely different.


I've always been a proponent of spending the first 2 weeks learning the ins and outs of the test (timing, format, question types, reading other's experiences), collecting all necessary material and outlining a 10+week plan. Only then can you maximize your efforts. Also, tweaking a little of the study plan along the way helps. But, people seem to waste much energy just jumping into preparing.

Your splits are pretty good. No reason why shouldn't shoot for the moon such as 51/39 or 50/41. That will yield a kickass score.

good luck

kidderek, I thought about your words. I realized that gmat is sort of competition and my second try is devoted only to my satisfaction. Another my reason (and the main one) is to show people around the possibility to do so. To be frank I started this MBA trip to show my people that it's possible for any human from the smallest country with poor and seak economy without lots of bucks, protections from men in power etc to take an expensive and honored MBA diploma. Cause many of my fellows consider that absolutely impossible. But I have the different opinion and want to prove it.
