Uff! I have just finished another PR exam. This time I did better, but I also found PR easier than Kaplan so I don't knwo what to think. But at least the results boosted my confidence for tonight :)

Can the GMAT become an addiction?
I really want to be done with this test, but on the other hand I like doing more and more problems, what is going on? is this a love-hate paradigma? :shock:

So this is it! I am following your great recommendations and tomorrow I will take the other OG test I have left at teh same tiem I will take the real one the following week. Can you believe I am nervous even if is not the real test?
Then next week I will just do OG and maybe some more Kaplan, and Friday I am taking a day off!

Any other advice?

Hi Isis:

You're on the home stretch! Your plan looks pretty solid for the last week. Treat your last GMATPrep seriously, and work on maintaining your focus.

Best of luck!

hey all you guys
(esp greatman and isisalaska )\\

would you write a review about Manhattan tests how you find them as compared to traditional ones like Kaplan and Princeton R.

you guys can start a separated thread for it or if you dont have comprehensive report write it here. :)
waiting. :D

Pune meet updates

by aim-wsc » Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:07 am
Some updates from My side:
Last week i had been to Pune... its 120 kms away from where i live.....
I had arranged a GMAT meet there. some ~20 people came. (which is quite a big number at any day, at any given city. )

One interesting thing i am tempted to quote here.
conversation between Johny & ol' GMATter wrote: ....Met a chap who i suspected, had already taken the test. (yeah the meet arranged through other (Indian ) forums ) So i asked him exactly when he appeared for the test...
I asked "is it when Crash-test-dummy took it?"
he said "na, its when beattheGMAT took his test! " :|
i said "all right ;) ,
so do you still visit that site?//// its a forum now... .. blog is moved to blogspot "

he said "na, i used to read his blog.... been out of GMAT thingie since ages... but i ll start visiting the site again if i want to re-take it."

The guy was not aware that i am on this forums too :D ;)
