My studying secret weapon!

by black_cat » Thu Mar 27, 2008 4:05 am
Hey everyone, I just had to share this. As I have mentioned, I am an executive and manage a team of 9 people. They all know I am taking the GMAT (I whine incessantly about it!) and they've even started a GMAT pool on me ... the person who most accurately guesses my score gets to pick the treat of their choice for our next staff meeting!

Yesterday we had our last team meeting before my test day and my team gave me a GMAT study survival kit (my favorite chips, Lifesavers, Advil, a pencil, a bottle of SmartWater, chocolates and a coffee card). They also included two laminated sheets ... one that says 800 in various sizes on it and the other I can use as a scratch pad during my last practice test. On that practice pad it says the following around the edges:

I AM smarter than a 5th grader
Who rocks? I rock.
I'm almost done ...
If I finish this, I can eat all the chocolate I want.
I'M THE BEST
GMAT G-Shmat
I can do this!
I'm so smart, I'm so smart, I'm so smart
Soundclip: The Final Countdown
This test is so easy, why did I even study?

What an awesome team, huh!? :D
