Hello Friends,
This is Chaitanya working in a IT company having 7+ years of experience(5 years at onsite). I am planning to take the GMAT in May 2014. I have a biggest question that whether I will able to crack GMAT or not, because I have done entire my education in my mother tongue and I am very poor in English. Please let me know whether it is possible to crack the GMAT for the people who have done their education not in English medium.
If yes, Please suggest me how to prepare the verbal and where to start.
Thanks,
Chaitanya
Dear
Chaitanya,
I'm happy to respond.
Many students are successful on the GMAT even though English is not their first language. Your English already seems quite good. Success depends on developing a sophisticated understanding of formal English. Here's the best thing you can do: READ. Read English, at least an hour a day, every single day. Since want to take the GMAT and get an MBA, you should already be reading the
Wall Street Journal newspaper and the
Economist magazine. If you read the WSJ every day and read the
Economist cover to cover every week, and keep doing that, that will get you into GMAT shape over time --- reading those will also make you a far more well-informed candidate on your B-schools interviews!!
