I guess it started of with a CAT disaster and a feeling that I need to move out of this Software field to do something on my own. I was quite depressed and I guess that decision was somewhat quite instant and out of frustration. That anyone will agree coz I took GMAT date giving myself just 2 months time to work on. Probably I had a lot of confidence on my abilities and other thing was that I didnt like to prolong things too much. I wanted to apply in R1 and thought of completing this tough task at hand ASAP.
So I used to take out some 2 hours in the morning before the my office hours so as to lock horns with GMAT.The biggest challenge was to maintain that determination and enthusiasm. So Abt the Books I referred .
1) Official Guide 10
2) Official Guide 11
3) Kaplan Verbal
I started with Official Guide 10. Maths was never a concern for me so straight to verbal. A healthy mix of question from both Kaplan and OT saw my interest building up.
Then I gave my Power Prep test-1 ,Scored 600. I was happy that I'm quite on the track and thought of increasing it to 670-680 within 1 month.As usual Verbal was my coz of concern.So day in and night out thought of doing verbal.My work suffered somewhat, but I had confidence of coping with that once my battle is over.
Its about priotizing your goals in life. GMAT was something I was going for.Whats important is network.Pagalguy and Business week gave me a lot of friends who were sailing in the same boat.
Though I continued with this schedule for a while but I'm also a human.Frustration level started creeping in,seeing my friends partying and I studying. I forgot to tell. Most of my saturdays and sundays went for preps.
After a month of prep, with the D day approaching I was scoring 670-680 and was a little frustrated.
Thought of many things to improve on that score,but couldn't find much on that.Took membership of scoretop. I feel it helped.
On the D day.
Arrived at the centre 2 hour before the scheduled time. I was asked if I can 45 minutes earlier . I was happy to start that ASAP.Exam was tougher than usual. I guess made some silly mistakes in Quant, costed me heavily.
Verbal was tough and was happy to find some questions straight from scoretop.com .
Finished the exam in 3 hours 45 minutes.
Score : 700
Quant: 49
Verbal: 38
AWA:5.0
