Hi,
I'm an engineering student in my last semester.
[For those who are Indian's here, I recently gave CAT'17 and Got 96 percentile, sectional percentile being 99-97-80 in Verbal Ability & RC - Data Interpretation - Quant respectively. I neglected quant quite a bit during my last few months of prep and it cost me big time.]
Anyway, I plan to take it again next year, but in the meantime, I want to start prep for GMAT and give it by May(at most). So I guess I have somewhat 3 months to prepare and give the exam.
I have zero specific prep for GMAT, but I feel I will do well in the basics at least since I prepared for CAT, so 3 months should be more than enough I feel.
There are 3 main questions I wanted to ash :
1. Should I enrol in a classroom program or just get the material and start the prep on my own? I'm determined enough to study on my own but I also aim to score 750+ in GMAT, so that even in the worst case scenario I score at least 700+
2. What all material should I refer to? I did get 99 percentile in VARC of CAT, but I feel that was too easy. I literally didn't even spend a day trying to learn English, just used to read for some time every day; editorials and some books. I would really like to know some good books to study from. I only know that buying and going through the OG of GMAT is a must, clueless after that...
3. Last but not the least, ik how crucial mocks and practice tests for sections are important in order to excel, which are mocks should I give ? Is there any specific Test Series that I can join ?
PS I live in New Delhi, India.
Thank you.

Hi anishraina,
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
