Hi All,

Nice to see that you have started one thread for GMAT & ISB........ I am currently working in an IT company for the last 1-1/2 years. So my work schedule is a bit hectic. Is anybody here with the same profile? Then how are you guys preparing for the test. I have done my GRE and TOEFL with scores 1150 and 250(CBT) respectively. So i don't think i will have any problems with the preparation other than time management. Please share any materials links... I need Kaplan800 softcopies... Please help me with this guys....

Thanks a lot

From my understanding ISB offers one year Vs Cornell 2 years ( I agree Cornell and other US universities also got 2 years ) But normally from India students got for 2 years

Nice suggestion to make the thread active. This is from me:

Date of Test: 4th August
No of Hours of Daily Prep: 1 hour
Books and Materials followed:1000 SC's, CR's, OG,Princeton
Helpful tips: Maths is quite simple, just got to give adequate time on each question.For Verbal, practice, practice n practice. 1000 SC's, CR's and RC's and most importantly follow the forum religiously. There are really gud explanations provided by a lot of GMAT GURU's...

Hi MCapri,

Thanks for the info... I have seen that you have 2 months approx.. But you said 1 hr per day. I dont know where you stand regarding the quant & verbal.. But for me 1 hr a day is merely enough. what about the OG? What r u doing in OG? Quant or Verbal? Im a little skeptical about your schedule. not to offend you my friend. what do you think? can you explain......

MCapri · 05-26-2008, 03:54 AM

Hi,
Now even I am skeptical about my schedule. Took a GMAT prep test on the wk-nd. These are my scores

Quant:47
Verbal:35

Overall:650, Actually my RC was aweful, 4 out of 13 correct...didnt practice it for like a month now and kept postponing.Others, please describe your schedule as well, so that it helps the other contenders..

samratisking · 05-26-2008, 05:51 AM

Hi MCapri,

Thanks for sharing your test scores. I think, I should take a prep test too, to find out where my caliber has taken me.

We shouldn't be any more dubious about our preparation.. Its obvious that we need to give it more time and see.. any valuable suggestions from anybody here....

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I took a GMAT prep test last weekend and got a score of 660.
Quant: 48
RC 35
I noticed that a lot of SC were wrong. This is a disappointment coz i have already completed OG and Kaplan:-(
I need to do Kaplan 800 and 1000 series too. My exam is on 1st july. Do u think i have sufficent time? I study for 2.5 hrs everyday and weekends some 5 hrs.
