More of a re-introdcution, really.

I have been a lurker on these boards for a while now....I have finally made the conscious choice to be a frequent contributer/learner.

I have around 8+ years of teaching experience in standardized test prep, for anyone who cares for that sort of thing. The GMAT just happens to be my favorite test, and I want eveyone to do outstandingly well on this test. Why.... you ask? Well, because it can be done.

I happen to think that this website is the shiznit and wil gladly gloat about it wherever/whenever possible.

For love, not money.

Sorry I'm not clear what your asking. Private Messaging to the Moderators?

Hi Everyone

by Rabiakhokhar » Thu May 07, 2009 10:42 am

Hi All,

My name is Rabia Khokhar and I really want to get into University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. I've been studying for my gmat for a couple of months now and am planning to take the exam in June. I'm nervous because I'm not the best test taker but I'm trying to compensate by studying more.

Right now I'm working on my first company in online education with a partner who graduated from Booth. We actually were in Booth's New Venture Challenge in 2007 and they let us have some office space in the ARCH incubator to start and grow our business.. Which is what we have been doing ever since.

Any advice for a nervous test taker?

Rabia

Hi,
I am Cleo, new to the forum and to GMAT. I am interested in taking in the GMAT in about 3months down the line, I am aiming at top universities in UK.

I have a 3 year experience in an MNC as a senior programmer that has been a core technical job. Now, I have decided to move a few rungs up the ladder of management in a software firm with an MBA degree from any of the prestigious intitutes.

So, any suggestions that you have on which stream to select in doing my MBA. And to where to begin from for the GMAT. Also I would wanna know what should I build up in my resume for getting my seat confirmed in Top colleges through GMAT.

Guess this is the longest intro...

Thanks! And wish me all the best

You are never too old for becoming a student again!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
