You may find this post helpful. I really like to use the MGMAT books as a guide to build up my quant fundamentals.

Hi Srikant,

More the failure, more the hunger to taste success. That is exactly why I love them. Well When I gave my GMAT last year, i scored a 410. I started prep again a couple of months back and planning to to take on it by December. (Initially I was targeting November)

I am from Hyderabad too...

Macha ...don't lose heart .
Even I scored low on the GMAT .Well,think of it as just one of the practice tests where you didn't do well and that it was not your day.

Keep your head up. Your practice tests show that you have real potential to achieve a great score. It is obvious that you were under a lot of stress and that hurt your performance on the actual GMAT. Keep working and it will happen.

Let us know your study plan for the upcoming test. Best of luck.


Ngould, attaching my plan/schedule to start preparation for retake.
March 20th is the exam date.

Please suggest a method that weighs more focus on verbal and more on the core of Quant.
I am giving my MGMAT mock with no preparation, today.

I haven't put a Error log sheet/ Review Sheet in this file.
Will update it.
