Dear if you can afford then focus on LBS and INSEAD. These business schools are famous all over world and average salaries of fresh graduates is above US$110,000 plus. Do your level best to get admission in only top ranked business schools, if you wan't to reduce payback period and increase ROI.

Thanks for the tips on Sentence correction.I am currently working with Manhattan SC book and also working on the OG-12 and OG 2nd edition problems that are at the end of each chapter in the Manhattan book.What i wanted to Understand is are these SC questions on the OG representative of the actual test.For Example for most of the questions i am able to use the 2/3 split and then figure out in what context the error is may be subject -verb or modifier etc...Can we rely on applying the 2/3 rule on the actual GMAT and what is your opinion on the standard of questions asked there?

I think most of the questions have the 2/3 split in choices. Though this may be enough to narrow down, thats not sufficient to answer the question. With respect to SC I found the questions, relatively tough cause that was my weak area in Verbal. I am a non-native English speaker and I believe this is natural. If its the same case with you may also find it tough.

Thanks voodoo_child. I appeared on my first PAPER test after about 1 month of prep. After another 2 weeks I appeared for my first Kaplan CAT.

Nikhil

I have similar work experience and plan to do 1 year MBA course. I am yet to give my GMAT though.
Did you consider IMD at all? Do let us know on your experiences with the application process.

"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."
