690 to 730 in 2 months...crossing the 700 mark!!
Hi Guys!! I first tried my hand at GMAT on 17th June 2014 and ended up with a score of 690(q49,v34). Although 690 is a pretty decent score, I decided to retry since I am from a fairly competitive background (Indian) and my GPA (3.1) is not very high. The first thing I did after my first attempt was ...

What to do if one falls behind by say, 10 minutes??
Hi! Consider this scenario: I discover that by the end of the 12th question I am behind the expected time by 8-10 minutes. What should I do?? calmly solve the next few questions (till maybe question 25) and then skip 5 questions, interspersing the guesses with correct answers? OR Skip 5 seemingly to...

The Economist tutor suggests doing an "initial" reading of the text, and then either just answering the question with that, or searching further for the specific answer, but never actually reading the entire texts. Has anyone had experience using the "initial reading" method suc...

Hello all, I need some advice urgently. I appeared for GMAT exam on August 3 and got a 650 (Q50, V28),IR-4, AWA 5.5. My score in verbal was substantially lower than what I was getting in my mocks and I am completely stumped as to why this happened. I had taken 8 mock tests leading up to the final d...

adjusting to afternoon slot...feel so sleepy in afternoons
Hi! I have my test in 3 weeks. This will be my 2nd attempt (690,q49v34 in the first attempt). I usually wake up late but as far as exams are concerned I prefer slots no later than 11 am because that is when I feel least sleepy. In general my performance in aptitude tests over the years has been well...

Thanks Eliza!! Fatigue was a big reason why I did not perform as well as I had expected. Will implement your suggestions. However, I need one clarification. Did you take 10 different tests in the last 14 days or did you repeat the tests. I only have 1 mgmat mock left. I will have to repeat the GMAT ...

Hey there, Just wanted to add, older material is fine BUT don't underestimate the value of old material. I have students all the time who re-do old GMATPrep questions and find themselves getting the SAME questions wrong a month later!! It shouldn't happen and it's frustrating, but there's a lesson ...

Thanks Rich!! I have signed up for a prep course and I will be using it to tackle my weak areas i.e SC and CR. As far as practice material is concerned, what do you think of the above suggestion about using OG 10 and 11 for SC, CR practice? I mean is it ok to go through the old official guides or sh...

Thanks!!
I mostly face problems in SC. In stressful conditions I am unable to apply grammar rules and start solving questions on the basis of my gut feeling. I have LSAT material can be useful. Is that true? Is LSAT material good for verbal SC?

Retaking...exhausted most of my prep material!!
Hi! I sat for GMAT on 17th and got a score of 690(Q49 V34). Although I was initially satisfied with this score, inputs from some mba consultants forced me to change my mind. Since I am an Indian male (non IT) and my extracurricular activity is not up to the mark I have been suggested to go for a ret...

Is a practice test 1 or 2 days before GMAT a good idea?
Hi! My test is on 17th June. From what I know giving a practice test 1 or 2 days before that GMAT is not a very good idea as it can affect you mentally ( if you don't score well) and can also wear you out. On the other hand, reviewing problem areas, strengths, and error logs seems to be a good idea....
