What are some strategies to tackle this question? When you talk about your past life experiences, are you still being expected to tie this somehow into your future goals, why MBA, etc? But they do ask you not to talk about your professional accomplishments, so are we supposed to use personal experi...

The EWMBA program asks for two short essays and one main essay. Also, ideally who would you ask to review your essays? And how many people do you ask to help y...

Hi Gowri, I have read the link provided by you and it is helpful. I usually do questions in sets of 10. If I am doing SC, I do 10 at a time. Same is for CR. For RC, I do 1 RC at a time. I always review my all my questions irrespective of whether I got them right or wrong. I try to understand why I ...

Sahil, I'm afraid 'accuracy' is a very poor metric to gauge your level of preparation. What you really need is Analysis.

Let me answer your questions one by one: 1. 630 is by no means a bad score to begin with, especially since you've done no preparation for the GMAT yet. The best sources to prepare from are official sources - you should begin with the Official Guide and the Quant and Verbal Reviews. Put together, the...
