You were excellent in self evaluation.

Congrats on that score...Bdw what was your score breakup on all mgmats and which bschools are you targeting?

Thanks. Here is the total and the exact break up of scores - (MT - Manhattan test; OT - official test from GMAT Prep)

    - OT 1: 670, Q47, V35
    - MT 2: 620, Q39, V36
    - MT 3: 690, Q46, V38
    - MT 4: 710, Q49, V38
    - MT 5: 720, Q47, V41
    - MT 6: 710, Q51, V36
    - OT 2: 770, Q50, V45
    - Final : 770, Q51, V42

I am not applying this year. If at all I apply, it will be next year. Not sure though.

Congratulations on your excellent score. I am glad that you liked our free content but sad that you are not our customer :)). BTW, I was not aware that "Junta" is as prevalent at IIT M, we used it extensively at IITD.

Quote:
I started mulling about GMAT from around May 2013. However, nothing transpired for around 3 months, except a Manhattan test in which I scored an abysmal 540. This made me realise that unless I book a date, nothing will happen..

One more thing - the above suggestion may have different impact on different people. For example, folks who work well under pressure are advised to do the above. I would do the same because I thrive under pressure.

However, having worked with thousands of students, I can tell you that there is a segment of students who will not focus on learning when pressed for time. Such students will merely go through the motions and falter. The key is to know what works for you.

Thanks Rajat. Oh, I definitely would have been a customer for the next attempt had I not luckily got this score. Completely recommend egmat's approach to Verbal. Yes, 'junta' is pretty common at IITM too. Who knows, it might have been borrowed from IITD!

Yes, it's true that time pressure doesn't work well for everybody. Absolutely agree that the key is to know what works for you.
