Hi friends,

Thanks a lot for your kind words. I will definitely share my study plan and especially the one for RCs. I think I owe this to the club.

Now that I think of it quantitative was not at all difficult. I did 6 silly mistakes (one less compared to my previous attempt). However one problem freaked me out. I spent 5 minutes and then the psycological pressure started mounting. If this happens to you then you are in big trouble. I started thinking "what if more such problmes come and I will be doomed. I need to get above 700". This mentality got me and I was just reading the problem text and not analyzing it.
Believe me friends my speed in quant is enormous. As I start reading word problems I start writing down equations on the fly. This expresses everything crystal clear to me when I start solving problems.

I finished quant and I wanted to cancel the test but I just continued.
Please dont develop a perception about your performance. It will hurt you in the test. Your job is to solve each problem and not think how well did I do till now and how well I am going to do later. The silly mistakes were because I was not reading the problem properly as I was too upset.



Hi boksana, hardworker_indian, venksune, srijay, marine and dj,

You guys rock. I have seen your contributions. You are definitely helping lot of people out there. Please continue to contibute.

May all of you have great luck and cross the 700 barrier.

I am short of words for Prae, BB and Paul

Cheers,
Anand.

Congratulations Anand. No one deserved it more than you.
Like the other stalwart of the club 'Kpadma', even you have breached the 700 barrier.Now...I'm just waiting for Paul's mail wherein even he would exult after scoring more than 700.Would like to know about your preparation techniques and your approach to the exam.

Hearty Congrats again..!

Anand,

What did I tell you about eating the GMAT for breakfast? I knew you would do it and you did. All the practices and tests have finally paid off for you. You have helped soo many on this board. I would like to thank you for all the help you've given me: the conversations, questions, explanations etc.

Congrats man.

Best wishes and good luck with your essays.

Hi Anand,

RC to be too small. Especially, the ones in 800Score verbal are really small and many times in CR, the questions and passages are jumbled up? I find the windows for Any idea how to conquer this? I'm using a laptop, do you think that to be a problem?
