BIG CONGRATS to you Prasant. You've set a mark that GMAT is beatable without even spending extra $$.

So did you use 1000 series docs?
and 700's clubs success stories document?

Thanks man. I dont think there is anything that you can learn from books that you cant download online.
I barely used the 1000 series docs although I had them. I did not have the time. I have no idea what the 700's club success stories are.
I am just 1 year removed from undergrad. I believe that worked to my advantage.

With a score like this you must try to woo ISB...I am sure you can charm many schools with a score like this....So where are you working? Dude it would all depend on a plethora of factors - Applications, LOR's, undergrad GPA...

So which are your target schools?

Those days are gone when you could get an admission just by scoring well in the exam. ISB has same selection process as the US schools and you are judged by the overall application rather than by only GMAT score. So you cannot assume that you can woo the adcom with a high score.
But yes, a high score gives you one less thing to worry about in the application process

I am working in Los Angeles for a top consulting company. I am planning to move to India and get some work experience with the other side of globalization. I will apply next yr or the year after. I am targeting the top 10 schools in the US.

I am glad those days are behind us. In my opinion, GMAT is just a test and it definitely does not reflect one's managerial abilities.

prasant, first of all, congrats man. killer score.

but i'm curious... in your first post on this thread, you said that the one of the most helpful things in your verbal studies was the discovery of the "2/3 split". what exactly is that? thanks

You may already be aware of it. It is the way the GMAT presents the options for SC. There are 2 options which are very similar and the other 3 are similar to each other. However, the set of 2 and the set of 3 are quite different from each other. You first choose which set is correct and then pick within the set. This made me a lot more accurate in SC.

Hi Prasant,

Congratulations on your great score!
Did you download the 'retired tests' from the wiki area? Which ones are they?

Thanks

Congratulatios Dude !!!!
