Road to Q50 V42 - Calling all April - May GMAT Takers I took my GMAT in February 2013, and I scored a 740 (Q50V40). I remember that my timing was off thoroughly during quant (it was the first time that I had to blindly guess 2-3 questions, and I remember having little to no stamina in verbal). I am an MBA Class of 2017 hopeful, and want to start my journey with as much time in advance as possible. I want to retake the GMAT, not because I think I did not score enough, but because I think I can score higher and because I want to get some structure and discipline in my life outside work. GMAT has always been a hobby and a passion, and what better way than to kick some 99 percentile butt? I want to invite all of you who are planning to take the GMAT, and are applying to the MBA 2016/17 application cycle and we can make a pledge to do the best we can. Below you will find the structure to my GMAT plans, and MBA plans (soon to come). I will post all the resources that I am going to use, and all the question banks that I am going to practice from. Feel free to post yours and we can kill the GMAT/MBA cycle together this year Resources to be used MGMAT Guides (6th edition) - I am also going to follow the MGMAT Syllabus.

I don't have MGMAT..would love to be a part of the team here

count me in Souvik. I request the group of people who is participating in this to give me KUDOs to get access to the GMAT club tests. Thanks in advance

what if we make a special skype group/viber/etc? where we could verbally debate questions, not just on the forum.

Count me in. I have started my prep last week only. Lets do it.

I think a whatsapp group would be nice (and also follow up for applications). PM me and we can set it up mvictor

Week 1 updates I did CR decently. I finished the MGMAT book, wrote a summary, and practised all the questions on the book. on FDP, however, I did not have enough time to practice questions, so I will keep that for another week. Here is the pay it forward.

After a lot of procrastination and not taking the GMAT for even once, i have scheduled the date for first week of april. A group on whatsapp is a better idea souvik101990 and mvictor

Souvik : The link to Structure family - Q1 on your original post is broken. Please fix it.

Hi Souvik... I started my preperation10 days later to your plan. I am now doing the MGMAT CR. Very good book to understand the CR basics. Done with the Structure family and answered 6 of the 7 questions correctly. I try to finish the remaining topics by this weekend and update my progress. Victor/Souvik....what happened to the Watsapp group?
