After being fairly active here for quite sometime, I finally took the GMAT yesterday and while I was initially very happy to see a 700 on the screen, the break-up of the score has since taken away some of its sheen. While a 42 in verbal is more than what I had expected, a 44 in quant is definitely m...

Awesome story. I also want to break into the VC/PE industry post MBA but doing that is not an easy task and those opportunities are usually available to people graduating from the top 5(or top 10 ?) schools. Congrats once again on the great score!

You mentioned that you maintained an error log. I was wondering what all do i need to maintain in an error log ? and how often should it be reviewed ? You don't need to mention everything in error log..Just write down the comments for each question so that when you have to revise your concepts it b...

Thanks :) I got the Economist and Scientific American from my office library :) I find scientific american boring to read..I instead follow The New York Times as it has more engaging and relevant articles I think. The reason to do this is to stay focused when you get a scientific passage in RC. Yea...

Did you use OG Verbal review for practicing verbal questions ? Also what did you use for Math practice ? I find the Math questions in the OG way too easy.

I have yet to do the 125 questions at the end of the book. Is my best bet to do those and then keep an error log to find weaknesses? Is this ...

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 recomm...
