Thank you Jon.

I would do the MBA ONLY if I get into INSEAD/LBS or likes. I will never go for a lower rank school.Hence , please let me know what are my chances.

regards,
Eki

Do the revision on day 1 and start solving easier questions on first 2 days. This will slowly bring you back in the prep mode and will set the b...

In my last 3 prep tests I used this technique and it worked for me. I was never pressed for time.Even in the fin...

Hi Eski, Thank You. I think you will truely realize the value of e-gmat only after going through Manhattan a couple of times.The main difference is in approach. After going through e-gmat course you will suddenly start seeing the sentence structure more clearly. e-gmat will not overload you with rul...

Hi Devika, Since you just have about a month to prepare for Quant, I would advise you to keep it simple. Please stay away from things such as brutal quant, toughest PS/DS sets, 700+ quant questions. Your aim should be to reach a decent level. Please get your hands on Manhattan quant books. They are ...
