Hello friends,
I had posted a post few days back, seems it missed all senior's sight. Your inputs are very valuable at this stage. Kindly suggest me how to proceed my studies from here.
I have been working on my GMAT studies past 1.5 months. My studies have been irregular so far, majorly because of my work. The problem is after a break I loose my confidence and when I start working again, I feel I don't know anything and that I have to start from the1st page of every book I have Sad. This might sound crazy but believe me I am going through tremendous GMAT pressure. I need to finish GMAT with high scores as soon as poosible. I need some advice from you folks. As far as my preparation is concerned, I am done with almost 80% OG 10 and currently, I am working on the forum most of the time. You would have noticed that number of posts from my id has shooted up in recent past and one can also imagine how desparate I would be to post answer to each and every problem Sad I would like to know if this us the way i should continue working? I still have to go through Princeton, Kaplan, Kaplan800 books. To get a good score is it realy necessary to solve all the books? (kinda dumb question i know but I am very tensed at this stage and don't know how to leap forward). I see posts from people scoring high and it boosts my confidence but at the same time it increases the pressure on me to perform high the same way. I just can't stop thinking negative Sad Hah! any advice at this stage will be of great help to me. I am planning to wind up my test prep and write real test in next 3-4 weeks or so. I am looking forward to hear from forum seniors like praetorian,wyilfred,vivek etc. who have already passed this stage and from others. Friends any words from you will help me run on the right track (Finally! when i have started putting focused efforts, I think that i am atleast in right direction!, but ofcourse not on right track Sad Sad )
Thanks alot for everything you'll guys have given me so far!
I wanna ace GMAT badly!

I don't think doing more problems will help. Spend time identifying the kind of problems that trouble you and work on them regularly. I also prepared with a busy work schedule....the last 2 weeks of my prep, I took it easy and avoided problems that could have discouraged me. Staying positive is the key....
There is a lot time for Fall '07....don't rush it ! I agree that GMAT Club can be intimidating at times. But, everyone feels the same...stay motivated ! One thing that I can suggest is that study/practice in short bursts of 25-30 minutes.
Good luck !

Remember that most people will feel very comfortable posting here if they do well. In fact, I would be more intimidated if everyone around you was posting low scores.
How you prepare is most important. Everyone's diet and exercise needs are different and so are our methods of preparation. Have you taken a diagnostic test? Do you know your strengths and weaknesses? Do you keep track of what you are actually learning from your prep? Doing 100 problems is good, but what good is it in the final week of your test? Can you summarize your lessons learned in easy to understand, but brief notes?
Keep track of what you are doing. If you are doing the same thing over and over again, you are going to the same results. If things are not working, its time to look hard at what you do and why you do it in that particular way.
There is no easy way out. However, do not underestimate your strengths.
Try to practice with every component of the GMAT. It will keep you prepared. Do not underestimate the easier problems also. Remember, that our mistakes on easy problems cost us the most.
Track your errors obsessively. Resolve to not make them again. Before taking each practice test, look at your error log. This will remind you of the typical errors you make.
Of all the things that will help anyone the most, discipline is it.
Hope this helps
