Hi guys!

I've been a regular reader of beatthegmar forums.. unfortunately just a reader! I was inspired by a few forums earlier in January to prepare for GMAT and after a bit of research on good books for GMAT, I did end up buying the following 3 books:-

Kaplan 800
Princeton Crakc the GMAt
OG 11th edition

To my utter disappointment, I studied each of these books for a few days, after which all of a sudden, I just left studying. I really can't understand why I did that. May be lack of determination. Actually not "may be". It was indeed lack of determination.

But now once again I have decided that I need to pace up and bring up all the determination and want to get done with this GMAT game.

For those who aspire to be one among the 700+ scorers but unfortunately are lazy like me, lets get together and get over and done with this exam ith excellent scores.

the problem is I work full time and now I am at work, Fortunately, inspite of being in s/w field, my work is not too bad. So I think I shuld be able to manage studying atleast 2 hrs after work in the evenings or may be during the morning (need to decide which is easier for me). And weekends around 5 hrs, so this shuld get me atleast 20 hrs, really dont know if its enough. Only my tests will tell how much prep I need.

However, the moral of the story is - I posted in this forum to remind myself that I am gonna be serious about my prep this time and any help in motivating me is welcome :). I am person who really needs lottttt of motivation to get the best out of myself.

So, I'll probably think for a few minutes to decide my plan. and send another post. For people who would like to suggest strategies - pls know tht my verbal (SC,CR,RC) all of it is not good at all. I am an above avg at Math, but who knows how bad GMAt can get???!! Once upon a time i had cracked GRE with a 800/800 but I really donno if both are comparable.

Alright guys, wnough of my stories. Lets get into real action, Coming Soon - My strategy....

Hi,

I am done with the Sentence Correction and CR concepts from Princeton Review. Did not solve practice questions except for the examples that are part of explainations.

Also done with GMAT Basic Math section , Process of Elimination, started working on algebra...

Will be working on RC concepts today...

I was wondering if i shuld practice a specific topic for a few days and then move to other topics or try practicing all topics simultaneously?

Someone, please suggest....
