Giving my 2 cents on your issue: I think you are burning yourself out.. practically giving GMAT every quarter. Do not try to fight against this test. It like eating a 100 oz steak.. you got to eat it slowly so that not only you enjoy it but also not start hating steak for the rest of your life. 4 to...

Hi Sachin, To begin with, thanks! As far as motivation is concerned, it has to come from with in. The major reason for me to be demotivated was lack of visible improvement. That was the major reason why i ended up dropping preparation mid way 2 times! Are there any particular areas in which you are ...

Yep.. i did do timed set of 20 - 25 questions.. GMAT focus does has a few repeats in the tests.. but i would say close to 92-95% questions are new.. and since GMAT focus is timed..the experience is as real as it gets..!

Thanks Sheeraj! What i mean by 110 to 120 question is as follows: 1. In GMAT paper tests you have 110 - 120 questions (the split is even between quant and verbal) but you have the same amount of time as in official test i.e. 75 minutes.. 2. So while in GMAT Prep software and the official test you ha...

Lets call it a win(small one)..my Journey from 470 to 690..

I work long hours - I did too, 10 hour shift + 3 hours commute 2. I do...

2 of the 3 components of the verbal section -- CR and RC -- consist of problems for which very little specific preparation is required. (i honestly don't think that any student will benefit from more than a lifetime total of 10-20 hours in CR or in RC; beyond that point, studying is more likely to ...
