It isn’t wrong to say that it takes an entire village to nurture a child. In my journey a lot many people have played a critical role without them I don’t think I would have been able to achieve 750 in GMAT classic in Aug'2023. I am very grateful to all of them and would want to thank them.
Firstly, I would want to thank @
ChiranjeevSingh and Anish Passi for showing me the right direction. I joined course GMATIntensive and developed sound concepts from it. As per their guidance, I sticked only to official questions and focused on depth rather than breath. I did not mindlessly solve a lot many questions but invested time in extracting a lot from a single question. Additionally, I would want to thank
KarishmaB madam for answering all my doubts on the forum and private messages and to the depth required so that I am able to understand the underlying concept.
Secondly, I would want to thank my family and friends for supporting me and understanding me. I wasn’t able to attend important family event, and I did cancel a lot of travel plans with friends. Yet they accepted my tantrums and stood as a strong pillar.
Thirdly, my office colleagues too played an important role. At times my team had to fill in for my shoes. Somedays I wasn’t able to give my best and my team was very supportive, though they did not know that I was slightly distracted because of GMAT.
Lastly, my GMAT buddies—I can’t underscore enough how important they were. Connecting with people going through the same journey is so critical. I’m still in touch with them, even though we’re all in different countries now.My advice to others would be to stay positive in the entire journey. It’s the single most important attribute required. If you stay positive, you will work hard, stay consistent, learn from mistakes, look for way out rather than find excuses and blame the exam pattern.
