Hi vivek,

I understand your test anxiety. My advice would be to just stop getting obsessed with the exam. This really increases your level of anxiety. Try doing something that would divert your mind from obsession.

All you have to do is just review flashcards, get some good sleep, work out in gym tomorrow (not rigorously), and start for the exam.

Waiting to hear good score from you! Good luck..

Hi Vivek,

All the Best Mate.

This Monday, I took GMATPrep # 2 and quite disappointingly got 620 (Q46, V30). Q46 and my Quant ego seems to have taken a beating here. I studied for 4 hours on Monday morning on Number properties and sentence correction. Then left for office and took GMATprep # 2 @ office. Not a smart decision considering that I would have to attend a client meeting very soon after the test. Just another 24 more days to go I need to step up my intensity a little bit...

Heyyy...thanks Papgust and Sreak!!

Don't worry Sri...it will come back...just keep the tempo and don't lose your head
Remember...you have already worked on it a lot...you just have to brush it up and you will be back on track
Follow a good training regime and your mind will be tamed to score consistently good :P

Thanks every one...
I hope I will come back tomorrow with a happy story (fingers crossed)

Cheers,
Vivek

Hey Friends...

This is it...I am in for the game in just about 3 hours from now

I am feeling a bit anxious...but a voice in me says that I have worked on it and I know all that it takes to beat the GMAT, I just have to be alert and answer each question to the best of my ability!

Thanks everyone for the wishes...I hope I have a good news to share with you all in the evening

Cheers,
Vivek

Hey Friends,

Thanks so much for your wishes...I have resumed work after a short break to prepare for the exam and am now finding it diffcult to get some time for myself to write the debrief. But it won't be too late I believe :)

Yes viju, papgust's is a great motivator...his words kept my spirits high

P.S. - look at papgust...he's got a new profile pic...looking cool mate :)


Cheers,
Vivek
