I just Beat The GMAT!

AIM GMAT wrote: Now i find myself at range of 46-48 in quant , i m not improving beyond 48 .

And my weakness is verbal .Currently i observed that i am doing bad with CR and RC in tests . I m perform fairly well in CR offline but RC is still the weakest part.I know that RC is the only section that makes score rise like anything .

My conc also is culprit for the same .I sweat the small stuff u can say that way .

Concerning CR and RC. If I am short on time, do you think it is sufficient to just practice Aristotles: RC99, and CR100(?) and skip problems in the OG12 no before the real GMAT? Are the Aristotle problems as good as or better than the OG12 probs?

Thanks!

I am average in verbal, can you suggest me best material for CR and RC ?
I have good amount of time for preparation.

If not an issue , can you send the "RC99" to my email id - [email protected]

If anybody else has it, would appreciate if this can be forwarded. Any other relevant material available, will appreciate if that too can be shared.

rgds,

I'm planning to take the GMAT by mid April and have been preparing seriously for the last 15 days. Do you think that 2 months of studies is enough ? I'd have liked to give more time to the GMAT but most probably I will be flying onsite on a project and I think that there'd be a lot of workload there.

rishi raj wrote: Sorry for the late reply.Been quite busy with work lately. I think that whether 2 months are sufficient is quite a subjective question and the answer to that cannot be a black/white one. If you're one of those who have had a record of annihilating standardized tests, then even 10 days are enough to crack the GMAT. On the other hand, if you're one of those who have hated standardized tests and performed badly on them, then you find GMAT to be a little daunting. The GMAT is a test of your reasoning skills,mental acuity ,application skills, time management skills(and what not ) ,and to get a good score, you'll have to really sharpen the edges on all these fronts. This "sharpening" process may take you 1 month or 4 months, but what you may wanna ensure is that you do not take the GMAT till the time you feel that you're ready to get you're target score. I have friends who have managed their GMAT preparation well while they're on-site on projects, so you'll have to really see whether you get overloaded with work when you go onsite or the amount of pressure is the same as what you have now.
3-4 months,by the way, is the ideal time for preparation considering that you're neither a rockstar test-taker nor a poor one, but have an above average test taking ability.

I have been fairly good at studies right from school days and don't fear standardized tests much, and I think I'd fall in the "above average" category of test takers you have mentioned. I am trying to work as hard as possible these days so that I can wrap up preparation on time. Though I am working full-time, I try to study 5-6 hours in a day and on the weekends,I try to study 8-10 hours . I think this much amount of time should be enough. What do you think ?
