Hi All,
I am going to take GMAT within 2 months time say by Oct 15, 2013. I need your advice on the strategy and the resources to be used. To give brief introduction, I had given GMAT once in 2008 and scored a miserable 490 (V:21; Q:36; AWA:5) although I used to score around 600 in practice test. I was so set back by the score that I didnt have guts to take it up again. But now I have decided to give it and my target is to score 720. I know the gap is huge and I am ready to give my best shot.
I am a Chartered Accountant by profession with almost 8 years of work experience. The last I had seen Maths was way back in 1998. The reason for mentioning this is the lack of basic Quant knowledge. My verbal skills are also not so great. So if a standard effort to crack 720 in GMAT requires 'x' effort in Quant and 'y' effort in Verbal, I believe I will require '1.5x or 2x' in Quant and '1.25y or 1.5y' in Verbal. I have left my job and taken a break and hence can devote around 10 hours everyday for preparation on weekdays and 5 hours on weekends.
Request you to share your valuable inputs. Thank you.
