I just Beat The GMAT!

Here I am, after 60 days of heavy preparation, sitting at my work-desk and enjoying the great feeling of self satisfaction. I started my journey with a 620 mock up exam and ended up here on DDay with a 730 grade that lifted my morale and made all my efforts worthwhile. The secret recipe you ask...the answer is just so clear and transparent, if you have planned to allocate 60 days for your studies don't hesitate to take the 60 days' study guide, however if you don't have 60 days to study, restructure you study plans, make room for extra days of study and take the 60 days study guide.

Cheers!!

Congrats buddy!great score.Wish you all the best for your onward journey to whichever school you wish to apply.

Aside: Don't forget to answer the questions on the forum

Hi

Can you please let me know any questions that you may remember. I am apprehensive about the Integrated reasoning.

Would love to have your feedback at [email protected]

HIM_43,

This is against the honor code we all sign when taking the GMAT. There were some high profile news stories about cheating in China where students where sharing current GMAT questions and they had their scores canceled with some even getting kicked out of bschool. I would advise against asking these questions in public forums.

First of all, I would like to thank you Brent couldn't have done it without you and without that amazing 60-day study guide.
Second, guys the GMAT prep exams perfectly mimics the actual exam. The test questions are similar, the same topics are tested, so you should by DDay be comfortable with the typical GMAT questions such as the double entry matrix, probability, stat and number theory among others. Please solve every question posted on that forum, these were my winning ticket. By DDay I knew what the GMAT wanted me to know, I understood most of the traps in the DS questions and critical reasoning questions.
One tip in handling DS is: "if you think the answer is C dig deeper to find sufficiency in one statement (common GMAT trap), the test maker want you to make a rash decision and choose C, so contemplate A and B thoroughly". For problem solving if you follow the 60 days guide you should be more than fine, I have mastered every topic that was tested in PS and of course I would have to thank the 60 days guide for that. Reading Comprehension and SC were a source of trouble at the beginning I recommend the Manhatan GMAT prep for those (Focus on the rules in SC, as for RC read tips for the different types of questions these tips can be found everywhere, master these types and understand traps please understand traps I think there should be a section on common traps in this forum so we can all post things we encounter that would benefit other test takers). For CR dont put too much effort on theory, I would advise you practice practice practice on questions in the CR on this forum and questions from the OG. For IR dont worry all you need is common sense. For the AWA I used the template posted on the AWA section in this forum, it made me finish my essay in 15 mins and save a lot of my analytical capacity to the other sections that DO matter.

Cheers Guys, let me know if you need anything.
