Hello everyone!

My name is Fe and I'm taking the GMAT on January 27th - hopefully I'll be able to get a good score! I'm studying since November but December was completely off - the holidays definitely help.
As I'm not a very organized student and I tend to get lost and procrastinate a lot, I created a blog to keep track on my steps: www.studentwannabe.wordpress.com - maybe, besides helping myself, I can help others as well!

Thank you all for all the help in the forums and discussions, everything here is really helpful and I'm sure lots of people take great advantage of the content provided by you guys!

All the best,
Fe

Hi All,
My Name is Sudhir, I am from Bangalore.
I have started preparing for GMAT for last week.
I am planning to take the test in June, 2011.

I have a work experience of 4.5 years in IT Industry.
I am mostly looking for colleges in India.
Verbal is my weakness, I am comfortable in Quant.
Please point me to the resources that will help me develop
my skills needed to crack the verbal section of the GMAT.



-thanks,
Sudhir.

My name is Hamza. I am 23. I am software engineer. I have been planning to start gym for long but could not. Twice I even paid them the fee but didnt even go once. I wasted the money.

Thanks Hamza for that intro. Are you referring to the GMAT or to the 'gym'. :)

Gym. You said about it on first page so I continued it. I think you were kinda lazy?

Haha! I hope you do make it to the gym and keep going. I think I've lost tons of money on gym memberships myself over the years. I always feel good buying the membership at the beginning of the year, but sad toward the end of the year when I realize that I only went like 2 times.

Hey all,
My name is Pushkal. I know its a bit late to introduce myself.

Regarding the GYM discussion, IMO the best time for a skinny person to join the gym is with ur gmat prep. As you are not running around after work, saving all the precious calories for bulking. Just studying and eating backed by some workout will give u at least an inch on ur arms in 3 months. B-)
Cheers !!

Quant 47-Striving for 50
Verbal 34-Striving for 40

Thanks Pushkal for that introduction! Nice to 'meet' you. :)

Haha, I like your suggestion for a workout regiment mixed with GMAT prep. I will say this though--exercising while you are preparing for the GMAT is a REALLY good idea because it's an excellent way to build mental endurance and stay energized while you sit for the 3.5 hour GMAT test.

I wouldn't mind another inch on my arms too. :)

Hi

I am Praveen from Pune, India.
I have around 9.5 years of experience in IT industry, most of it as a database administrator.
I have started the GMAT preparation (seriously) from last week, aiming for a June date.
Looking more for 1-yr executive MBA, from IIM-A/NUS Singpore.

I have been to this forum many times, more for inspiration by reading others posts of success/failures.

Eric
Thanks for this website.
This is an amazing place to gain/share knowledge about GMAT and strategies.

Thanks
Praveen
