Finally, I'm writing this debrief. I thought GMAT is a major hurdle, but I was wrong. Writing essays and preparing for interviews is a tougher task.
My 2nd GMAT attempt
There it was 700, written in front of me. I was ecstatic. All the hard work had finally paid off.
What I did differently this time??
1. e-GMAT
They have a really awesome course. Their emphasis on meaning for SC and pre-thinking for CR was the key element that made a lot of difference. Even for RC you can use pre-thinking for inference questions.
My verbal score increased from 24 to 36!
If you're only e-GMAT verbal student or are no student of theirs at all, I would still suggest register on their website and take advantage of scholorium. It can pinpoint your weak areas upon which you can work later on.
2. gmatclub tests
I did not give tests, however, I used the platform quite extensively by giving a lot of quizzes. I can thank them, as gmatclub tests have a major contribution in my Quant Score increase - 47 to 49.
I did not do anything specific for IR section, though I did watch videos on the e-GMAT platform, I think with time IR section becomes easier on its own. As for AWA, there are various templates available on the net.
I must also thank bb , @bunnel and VeritasPrepKarishma, for their answers have helped me get a better understanding of how to think to solve problems quickly. Karishma has written some wonderful articles to improve Quant abilities.
Though I won't be giving GMAT for the 3rd time, I'll keep on answering questions in the forum, since I believe solving tough CR or SC questions is my new hobby!
=========================================
PS: Never ever take a test at Pune Center - it's a fish market. I partially blame them for my low score in 1st attempt.
For the second attempt, I choose the center at Mumbai.
