That 5.0 on the AWA will likely kill your apps. Consider retaking ;-)


Nice score!

trooper,

Awesome score. If you don't mind me asking, do you have some type of background in Math? Or does math just comes easy to you? Also, may be I missed it but how many weeks/months did you spend preparing for the math section?

Thanks in advance.

I have a fairly quantitative background with an engineering degree and an analytical job that requires a lot of number crunching (valuations etc). At the same time, Math has also always been my best subject.

I would say I spent half of my prep time on Math over the ~8 weeks of studying I put in. My basics were very strong though, so most of that was spent on practicing questions and getting comfortable with DS.

Congrats on the superb score !!!. Would you throw some light into how did you managed to score such a score in verbal. I have given my GMAT once and i totally bombed th verbal section. Any tips for Verbal preps would be helpful.
