First of all, you are going to crush the GMAT. And let me tell you why ? Because, I wouldn't let you fail. Re-phrasing... I will help you succeed. This forum gave me a lot and so I think it is important to give back too. So let's get started: Barron's was a bad pick. Kaplan's is great, but only if y...

I don't think there would be any comparison. You obviously are referring to the verbal section(and that too just the reading sub-section of verbal and the writing(essay) section). If you compare (based upon those sections) the IELTS and the GMAT, GMAT is way harder than IELTS. So to answer your ques...

Secondly, kudos for working so hard on improvement. 2 hours a day every working day and 6-10 hours a day every weekend is a lot of hard work. Lastly, thanks for posting this question.

You yourself can decide which one works best for you. Even if you have not bought either of the books, ultimately, just by researching BTG forum, you can see what are the techniques that the two books offer. The bible is the best resource. But, that is based upon my experience and comfort with the t...

John, Two months is enough to bump up your score, if you do things right! Here's what I would suggest: Whatever material (books, videos, etc.) got you from 470 -> 590, do not use that to get to 700! Because that won't work for you going forward, unless its official material like an OG or something. ...

RC specific pointers: 1. Use only the official resources at first - og, verbal review, old tests. Solve like 3 passages max in a day and review review review. 1. Focus on the COMPREHENSION part first. Which means you should GET the gist at least. Don't go into details. A not so good example is-> if ...

No they are not enough. Unless you are already scoring a 40+ on verbal, you MUST have verbal related books. Do you know that no matter how great you do in quant, bschools just ignore that coz you are indian ? They want to see great verbal scores and that's what's missing in your arsenal. But, first ...

There is a magic potion for RC and CR. RC is about prolonged practice using a technique that suits you. 680 to 700+ is just about tweaking a few things. For RC: Get your timing right- have a timing strategy that boosts your score! Don't believe me? Just try any timing strategy you find here which is...

Ask the school adcom! It will be much faster. Subject it "Prospective Student: Query regarding admission status" or something, else they'll take time.

Concise and straightforward : 1. Score 720 or higher on the GMAT. 2. Scrutinize your profile for things that showcase qualities(in essays/interactions/interviews) you want to convey (e.g. your taking charge of a tough situation and turning things around-> leadership and problem-solving skills), etc....
