GMAT Strategy

Hello Eric and friends,

First of all thanks for creating this BTG website, this is really useful and I'm loving this website the day I found this.

Though I don't comment regularly, but I visit regularly for the upcoming articles and to read how people got 700+ score.

Anyhow, coming to the point sir, my name is Pardeep and I am from India. I have done Mechanical Engineering and now working since Sept 2007. I work in shift and my shift changes every 3rd day! I had booked my date (7th June 2010) for GMAT in January thinking that I'll be able to finish the course till that time.

I surfed BTG and ordered OG12, Kaplan GMAT Advanced, OG for GMAT Verbal Review, Kaplan GMAT Verbal Workbook, The PowerScore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible, OG for GMAT Quantitative Review, TMH GMAT also got Veritas's SC and Princeton Review guides from friend.

Till now I have finished only Veritas's SC and Princeton Review guides, Kaplan GMAT Verbal Workbook, Kaplan GMAT Advanced (Math section and SC section), have gone through TMH GMAT book (useless!), and recently I have added Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction and Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook to my list and have finished around 100 pages of both the books. I also downloaded your flashcards and have gone through 2-3 times, those are really useful. I have also prepared mine flashcards.

Now, I need your help to decide:

1. Should I postpone my GMAT test date, which I have decided earlier as 7th of June?

2. What should be my approach from today onwards if you decide not to postpone? Or what I should do if you decide not to postpone.

3. Should I take leave from job and go home or somewhere where I can study better?

Please, help me I am really very much depressed, and not able to figure out what should I do? If you helped me, I'll remember you throughout my life and your reply will be life changing for me.


Thank you.
