Hi,
I am appearing for the GMAT in Aug End to appear for the 1st round of apps in UK. I have around 6 years of IT experience with Engg background (obvious now-a-days). Excellent acads, good management experience (20-25 member teams), good international experience ~ 5 years and a decent dip in finance world because of my IT projects like trading, funds, treasury etc etc.
I started GMAT prep about 1.5 months back with no background of any other practice earlier like CAT for IIMs, etc..
Did all the OG Qs in 1.5 months (for all five sections). Me working n married as well so couldn't give more than 2-3 hours on weekdays and 5-6 on weekends
While doing OG I had a consistent 80% accuracy (with SC a lil low 70% ) with approx 2 mins time for each Q. I checked every question which was wrong to understand why, but did not revise each wrong question again and again (to remember the mistake). Just wanted to complete one round of OG once, before going back. I did section by section, rather than 10Qs of each everyday.
I gave GMATPREP tests yesterday, but was shocked and devastated to get only 620.
Obviously me doing some basic mistake. Got 47 in Quant but 27 in Verbal. Verbal is weak obviously.
Wot i realised was that GMATPREP was giving me those 20% Qs which I couldn't solve in OG.
(now I understand da f%%%kin pareto principle!! )
Further I found that I didn't particularly had any probs with RC and CR, but in the test I did. Dunno why !!
My target is 720+ and must appear in Aug End. Further due to some personal issues, this year is my "do or die" chance or probably "now or never". Completely depressed since yesterday. Scolded some poor juniors in office as well. Don't know what is wrong. Pls help
