Hi All,
I will just give a brief introduction of myself and then pose my question. I am Chartered Accountant by profession and have been working for the past 4 years. As a Commerce graduate and CA background I am not very strong in mathematics because as a professional we are used to take calculator for 12*15 also. I started to change it but I know it will take some time. I want to work in Mergers & Acquisitions and hence need to do MBA from top 20 B Schools in the world. Its a daunting task I know. I took my GMAT for the first time on 27th Oct 2008 and got a pathetic score of 490.
The score details are Verbal:21/23%; Quant:36/46%; Total:490/34%; AWA:5/55%. I felt very bad as I thought I had prepared atleast for 600 but the exam fever and lack of practice killed me. I didnt do anything for the past 1 year for GMAT as I did some specialisation in Valuation in the mean time and now plan to take GMAT again. I am not in a hurry and even if I need to basic grammar and mathematics for a month I am ok with that. I want to properly approach this exam and hence need advice from all you experts. The study material which I have is OG-12; Kaplan 800; Manhatten verbal (old version- a photocopy). Please let me know at the earliest.
