Thanks Rich. Thanks to you I am moving in a focused direction by giving the test and knowing a bit more about what I need to do. Otherwise, I would have waited a month before giving the full-length test. :D This is what I am going to do now. I would give myself some time to master the weak areas, es...

Thanks for the encouraging words Marty. The thing is that last year I had studied and got 630. This time, I just sort of gave the test and got 660. I am worried that this might just turn out to be a fluke :D I will revise the topics as you suggested and give the test again next week just to be sure....

Hi Rich, I was giving the diagnostic test for myself, just to brush up on concepts. I gave the GMAT test prep and got the following score: Quants: 46 Verbal: 35 IR: 4 Overall: 660 To be frank, IR simply went over my head. I know it's an important concept, maybe not so much for GMAT itself but for th...

Hi,
I actually converted wrong. My GPA is around 2.7. I know its nothing great but at least its not a deal breaker like 1.5 which is a huge relief.

Right now i am giving the diagnostic test from OG (not timed) and then will give the free GMAT prep test and see what score i get. And meanwhile, i a...

Hi Rich, 1. I don't exactly remember the sectional score i got last year, but i think quants was in 40s and verbal was in high 20s (got overconfident with my verbal skills here :D). 2. I used only the official guide for GMAT as it was a completely baseless preparation. Thanks for providing the site....

Thanks Dave for the excellent advice. That is what i wanted to know. I didn't plan on studying the whole 9 months, its just that i have almost 9 months before R1 application deadlines for the schools i want to apply in. Just mastering fundamentals is slow and against my study style. But your suggest...

How to start studying?
Hi, I know this question has been asked and answered countless times. But if i could get some first hand answers, it would be great. First of all, my history, i have given GMAT once last year. I did not prepare well, i barely even knew what GMAT was or what actually it tests. I simply took it as a g...

Thanks Rick for pointing out high GMAT scores may matter as I was under the impression that if we clear the cutoffs, they didn't matter much after that. And thanks for the link to the forum. I posted the query there as well. I am not really sure if we can avail college extensions in my country. But ...

Low GPA
Hi, I have a GPA of around 1.5 when converted into the 1-4 point system. I know its very low and want to know if it can be compensated with a high GMAT score and excellent essays and SOPS when writing the application. I have 4 years of experience and will have around 5 years worth of experience by t...

Yeah me too since all the other 19 numbers were achieved using only arithmetic operations. And i was able to get all the 20 numbers for many other random sets of 4 single digit numbers.
But thank you for the help. I only asked when i was unable to figure this out for hours.

Yeah I know its not a GMAT style question, but i really suck at mathematics and wanted to develop some sort of number sense before delving into the actual questions. I found this on a Magoosh blog and wanted to try it out. The aim is to achieve numbers from 1-20 using any random 4 single digit numbe...
