@vgg5015 You are right that you may not know five years in advance which schools to send your scores. But I think you can select schools, so if you have certain schools in mind I would just add those to the list. I would recommend you to confirm this with the Official GMAT representative here: http:...

@vgg5015 I wouldn't stretch out the preparation over a 2 year period. The problem with that long a time frame is that most of us would lose interest and feel like we are studying but not really making a progress. It would be better to set a deadline, say four months, and work towards that. This will...

@serg.mokin I would recommend buying the Official Guide to GMAT Review 2016 and using the diagnostic test in the beginning of the book. This would be the least expensive and the most accurate way of getting an initial baseline. The only drawback is that the questions are a bit on the hard side, and ...

Hi KSHITIJ205, You could approach it in two ways: Method 1: List numbers that leave a remainder of 4 after division by 6: 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, .... List numbers that leave a remainder of 3 after division by 5: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, .... Notice 28 is the first number that satisfies both of the ...

nightrunner19, The OG diagnostic is on the hard side. The good news is that you are exceptionally strong in the verbal, and that will make it fairly easy to cross the 700 score. The key will be to brush up on the quant systematically and raise your score to the 80th percentile or so, with your high ...

Hi blade, What you are doing is great because this will help you transition to the computer adaptive test format of the GMAT. However, predicting your score based on the percent correct is impossible, partly because your OG sets would be of mixed difficulty. But it is clear that with 90% correct, yo...

@rrobbins407 Keeping track of errors using an excel file sounds like a good plan on paper, but in reality it is extremely time consuming. The choice really boils down to your style of studying. I personally don't like it and instead, I recommend internalizing your mistakes as you are learning the co...

The correct question is: "A poll asked 60 people what their favorite ice cream was between Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry. There were no ties, meaning every person was asked to rank the flavors in order. 3/5 had Vanilla in last place, 1/10 had Vanilla ahead of Chocolate, and 1/3 ranked Vani...

@RodRod I wouldn't give too much credence to the initial diagnostic. In my opinion, it is best to first get some sense of the different question types on the GMAT and then only dive in to a full length test. Otherwise, you will just bomb the test. Imagine having to deal with data sufficiency questio...

Hi Abhijit, As far as the resources for IR are concerned, the following are my favorites: 1) The set of 50 online questions that come with Official Guide to GMAT. This is a good place to first get exposure to the style and content of IR questions. At this stage I recommend students to take as much t...

@Laurenmrc I believe 650 is a reasonable target score. You have a pretty high verbal score of V40 and that too with little preparation. From my experience of working with a lot of students, a high verbal score correlates fairly well with the ability to score high on the quant section as well. This i...
