Awesome score! I'm planning to apply to HSW too for the 2014 intake and would love to hear your insights once you get through. And you really prepared in a systematic way-something that the IITians are famous for. I'm planning to focus on Verbal for 4 months. Anything other non-GMAT books you recom...

Awesome score. A 46 on Verbal is definitely huge. Can you elaborate on how you divided your time in a week and how many hours did you put in per week ? I usually kept MTWT for Verbal as this is the area I needed to focus on more and kept FS for Math as Math can quite naturally to me. Sundays used t...

Thanks Rishi for the advice. I understand that GMAT is not the only factor. Are you applying this year to schools ?

By the way, which schools are you applying for?
Great to hear that. I'm applying to Stanford, Wharton and Kellogg in R1. Haven't decided about the schools for R2 yet. How about you ?

sandysai,
To reach high quant scores ,you should actually try to think of doing a question in multiple ways. The more the different your approaches of doing a question, the more agile you'll become on the test when you will see a new question.

Hey Daniel, Thank you. I scored a 34 on verbal on my diagnostic test, the test that I took before starting my prep. The biggest improvement came from SC I think and yes from RC too. SC in particular because i didn't know things such as "that/which" ,misplaced modifier before i started my p...

swapnil, I think the MGMAT tests are better than the Kaplan ones. The Quant on MGMAT tests though is not very representative of what you will see on the GMAT but still they are the best tests. After finishing OG12,OG10 CR questions, I did aristotle cr questionbank. That's a free document containing ...

Congrats for the amazing score! Just wanted to check one thing real quick. How did the sentence correction feel on the real GMAT test? Were the questions more focused on meaning than on grammatical issues? Did you see any questions on Idioms as well? Yes there were questions with idiomatic errors b...

Congrats on your score buddy but I doubt you have rejected an admission from one of IIM A,B,C. Btw, just out of curiosity, which one did you reject? Yeah you're right that had I had admits from IIM A,B,C then I would have possibly gone to the IIMs. Had admits from IIML and IIMI so did not want to g...

Thanks. Yeah, I realized that it got repeated unintentionally a couple of times. Have edited the post.
