Will keep in mind that I have to just whisper or just move the lips but no sound

I was under the impression that you are not supposed to even open your mouth....If riteshbindal sits next to me when I take the GMAT, I will certainly freak out. I get disturbed very easily....That means I have to reread the question again. Thats irritating. I like the way he says "real GMAT&qu...

If you are applying for IMD, ESADE etc, the average GMAT score is 660. If you have the time, you should take GMAT again. You and I have the same verbal score. Couple of points in quant would do wonders to your score. Try allocating couple of weeks for GMAT and take it again. You should still be good...

That observation may be true. All my RCs were long or atleast I felt that because they were boring. The reason I screwed verbal was because a lady started AWA next to me. That will surely screw u up. Be sure to get ear plugs. Once they are in the ear, leave them alone. If you touch them, they will m...

I was disappointed with my Verbal. I screwed up my timing in Verbal because usually finish my tests early(thats not good either). I had to guess a couple of questions in the end. if you are aiming for 48 or 49, Math is walk is easy. If you are aiming for 50 or 51, Math requires "patience"....

So New Average will be higher than the old average C. Two things worth noting are $ 165 is irrelevant and price cannot...
