Hi guys!
This is an awesome site.
I have planned to take GMAT in the last week of December 2006. I have procured all the reading material-
OG 11th edition,kaplan 800, kaplan with CD, princeton, Nova and three other local reading material available in India.
I am a great planner throughout my life. But very bad, infact the worst when it comes to execution. I plan to start my preparation from July 1st, 2006. My plan is not to start with
OG. I am planning to brush up my fundamentals in maths by procuring a local but good guide on quantitative aptitude. After doing that i plan to move on to standard books like
OG , princeton, kapan and others. This way i thought i could do well as i would have strengthened my fundas.
As far as maths, even though i graduated in history, i have innate love for numbers and did reasonably well in maths in higher secondary.(got 92 percent).
As far as verbal i thought i would never touch or read any book for it till i came across the real GMAT type of questions. It is, i realised, really tough to score good marks in GMAT verbal. I thought questions will be like as we have in banking service examinations in India where i used to get hundered percent correct. Even though i studied English right from my kinder garden, i know i have to really work hard to score well in GMAT verbal section. I have to concentrate hard eventhough concentration is not my forte.
I decided to take GMAT not because i wanted to do MBA in the US.My aim is to see the land of technology, the mother of all countries when it comes to technology.I carry technology within me.( Guys reading this may wonder what i am talking about, but i dont want to reveal anything more as it would go beyond the perview of this site).Secondly i want to prove something to those people who branded me as having no logic but has only great level of intuition.Thirdly, as i was overlooked for promotion in my present organisation, i am longing to move to other greener pastures.
I always fix tall order for me. My aim is to get a perfect 800 in GMAT. I know it is tough. i always aimed for perfection, and that has been my great weakness.
