Hi All,
I have been following the BTG forums for about a month now and am overwhelmed by the kind of membership it has.
We have got some really wonderful moderators and great enthusiasts over here, kudos to all.
I took the GMAT last month (7th Sept) and landed on my face with a 630 (47q, 30v)
I had prepared for around three months for the test which included the following
1. classes at The Princeton Review
2. completed OG12 and OG11 almost twice each, end to end
3. about 10 sets from the 1000s Series of PS and DS
4. MGMAT SC Guide
5. MGMAT CR Guide
6. Princeton Review timed drills on all the topics
7. quite a few verbal timed drills on https://www.litesee.com/gmat.htm
8. 6 Princeton Review CATs with the scores as follows
9/5 450 - 17v 35q (this was the diagnostic test i took before joining TPR)
28/6 610 - 31v 44q
19/7 520 - 22v 40q
12/8 640 - 34v 47q
16/8 690 - 40v 45q
19/8 650 - 33v 48q
9. 2 GMATPrep tests (on the last week of my exam) with the score as follows
31/8 700 - 37v 49q
5/9 750 - 41v 50q
Now after a few weeks of brooding and cursing the world about my bad score...I have realised its not helping me at all...and have decided to get up and start preparing again...
I realised I have a problem with verbal...so started with that
have already completed the Kaplan Verbal Workbook last weekend
have bought the MGMAT CATs (as have got good feedback about it)
took the MGMAT first CAT and scored a 610 (45q, 30v)
After doing all what I said, I am feeling lost and directionless currently.
I am not sure what should I study now, and from where....
I have a feeling that there is some lack of motivation as well now....
But I so want to beat the GMAT with a score above 730 (is it achievable??)...and I have this feeling that there are many out there who share this dream with me...
So, Guys can we start a kind of study group out here...
Basically I am looking for partners who are planning to take the GMAT at the end of October
And if we can collaborate to give each other some direction...work together with a common plan
have our doubts posted here and clarified by each other (on priority...)
so the action plan would be...put down a plan together...study together as per the plan over the week...
take the practice CATs once or twice a week...share the assessments...get feedbacks...get directions...
dream together and achieve together...and may be go to the same BSchool together
interested ppl please reply to this post...we should get started as early as possible.
Dear Moderators/GMAT Destroyers,
Please help us put down the right course of action
Cheers,
Vivek
