GMAT Strategy

Hi All,

This is my first post on beat the GMAT.
I am an ERP consultant with 3+ years of exp in cunsulting space for Telecom Industry CRM implementations. 8)

I wrote CAT 2007 and managed to get a decent score of 97 percentile. Did not apply to any colleges except IIMs. No Calls and no converts!!!!

Now aiming to write GMAT in first week of September (so that I am in time for the 15th Sept deadline for ISB admission form submission).

Wish me luck!!!!!

Thanks a lot eric!

For the first week of my prep I am revising my maths and related topics. This is not only to brush up all the Quant stuff...but it will also give me a head start because Maths has been one of my best subjects (cleared two rounds of International Maths Olympiad in High school).

Once my Maths basics are clear, I will jump on to the Sc and verbal related suff.

Need to work hard on SC and RC!!!!

AND REASONING AS WELL!!!! :roll:

edit: cleared

For last one week I was revising my CAT maths concepts (CAT maths questions are considered much tougher than those of GMAT).

Today I started with the Princeton Review. I have till now finished the first 5 chapters. These are just introductory chapters and give the overview of the GTAM on the whole.

I plan to finish the PR end to end in about 20 days (lokks difficult in the face of my hectic profssional life)

A good begining, I must say. Feeling better than ever!

Wish me luck!

Hi,

Its a good begining for me!
I had planned to complete PR maths in a week's time. I over ran my plannig and completed it on the weekend. Spent around 8 hrs on Satday and 10 hrs on Sunday,.....and completed the maths!!

Today morning I started with the Verbal part of PR. I have fixed the target to complete the Verbal part (SC,RC and CR) by the end of this week.

Wish me luck! :!:

Hi harshie...

Looks like we in a similar boat, am working for a Oracle, e-biz suite (erp) , 2 years work ex. Gave cat in 2006 .. 92% no calls. and now my date is 30th july for the GMAT, the thing being...we need to apply fast for ISB coz its on a FCFS basis. I am enrolled with PR and attending their classroom progs.. also plan to do kaplan/mgmat/800score tests. Hope things work out fine....

All the best.

Firstly, I dont think you get calls from IIM at 97 percentile. You start to get it 99%ile onwards.

Two, I would suggest to take the exam sooner (July) and reserve time for writing essays.

Best of Luck.

Was out of india for about two montha....
but was regularly keeping in touch with my preperation....Gave GMAT prep just now....scored a 690...QA 49 and Verbal 35.
This was my first test. Need to improve on data Sufficiency and Sentence correction.

Attempting next GMAT Prep on Saturday so have exactly 5 days to improve on these two topics.

Wish me luck!!!

Hi !

Whats this talk about admissions to ISB being on FCFS basis ???
Isn't their Ist round deadline 15th September ???

Its not FCFS basis, I confirmed from the admissions office of the ISB, the deadline is 15th Sept.

ISB 1st round deadline is 15th sep, second round deadline is 1st Dec... So I don't think there is any need for panic here...

Thanks
