Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for creating this wonderful forum and I would like to talk a little bit about myself, I'm 25, Engineer and from India. Thank God, not an IT engineer!
I have been preparing for this beast since April 2010 and have already taken GMAT once in July 2010 and I score 540!! I performed badly on Verbal section.Got only 17!! And I think I'm comfortable with Quant section, I got 48 on 1st attempt.
Since Aug 2010, for few months, I couldn't digest my score and felt like I should give up my dream of getting into good B-school, but then at the back of mind I couldn't make myself comfortable. GMAT, GMAT, GMAT is there on my mind always.
Then from Aug-Oct 2010, I got busy with job, which sucks, seniors at job are %^$#@ and I hardly could keep in touch with books! But I managed to go through
MGMAT SC and
PowerScore CR bible during this time. It's so frustrating to see dream going away from me, all that I can say is I'm really upset and always felt like crying at the end of the day.
I can't give up this dream, which I have nourished since long time. So, here I'm to start to work on my dream once again. The big question is this would be my 2nd and last attempt. I will start preparing from today and will be taking this beast in January2011 end. (I have to remind myself time and again F*** this job and F*** these seniors! You have bigger dreams to follow.)
I have no life these days, no party, nothing but all the time thinking and wondering over GMAT, is it within my reach? Can I get my dream school, what will I do if not GMAT, etc etc.I have following material with me, please help me figure out how should I go through each of these material?
From where I should start, keeping in mind that I need most help on Verbal section?OG 10, 11 and 12
