Hi Everyone,
I would like advice on the best ways to prepare for gmat,ie, the best test prep programs available, the best books for prep,etc....I am a poor reader.So, I plan to start off my verbal prep now itself by reading some books and newspapers(I usually read only the sports section of the newspaper). I am working as a research associate in NTU,Singapore after my Master's in Microelectronics from NTU.
1. Please advice me on whether I should enrol in some test prep program like the Veritas/Manhattan(If so, then which?). oR should I go for just the materials and self study?
2. How much time should I ideally put in for prep? (I am weak in verbal).
I had written GRE in 2011 and scored only 317/340
(163/170 for quant
154/170 for verbal
and a pathetic 3/6 for awa)
That time I had mugged up a lot of words for GRE and then went for the test, but the test format had changed and I did badly wrt my expectations. And I have now forgotten all the words I mugged up.
3. I plan to apply to Indian b-schools like IIM,XLRI,etc....Please advice me on this too.....eg: target score required
4. the best prep materials(books or online)
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit Abraham John
