Awesome score, Abhay. A well deserved and expected score.

Congratulation! Excellent score.
By the way, Abhay , would you please explain more about your disclaimer: "Your GMAT score is irrelevant to who you really are, which is pure, innocent, intent-less Awareness. "

Awesome score bro! way to go... really understood all your posts thanks and good luck with your applications!

Awesome Score !! Congratulations Abhay!

Congrates Buddy....
Great score...

Hey Abhay, congrats on a mammoth score!..

Also, did you do the AWA for every practice test?

Congratulations dude..


Could you please tell from where and for how much you got Knewton course and Grockit course?



Good luck for your application.

Could you please tell from where and for how much you got Knewton course and Grockit course?

1. Knewton - Used the GMATClub promotional voucher so got 100$ off the 690$. Paid 590$. But remember- they have a 50 point guarantee, so if you do well on their diagnostic or do not score 50 points more than your baseline score, you get a full refund.

2. Grockit - I purchased this before they reorganized the website and the prices. I used a voucher from the Stacy Blackman blog and got it for 39$ - totally worth it for the amount I used that website.

Also, did you do the AWA for every practice test?

To be honest, I only did about 4 CATs with the AWAs. I did about 18 CATs in total, so a lot of them without it. Knewton for example doesn't even offer an AWA section on its CATs. I recommend that if you are going to do a LOT of CATs like I did, then you can skip the AWA for about half of them or more, depending on how much time you have. Though I am a rather fast typist and have always done well on essays - I finished both essays with only 20 seconds to spare. Don't ignore them completely - have your generic answers well memorized and brush up on your debating vocabulary

The argument essay is slightly tougher than the issue one, so focus more on it.

By the way, Abhay , would you please explain more about your disclaimer: "Your GMAT score is irrelevant to who you really are, which is pure, innocent, intent-less Awareness. "

This has to do with my understanding of existence, which is based on the concept of Non-Duality. You can google it to find out more. In brief, it helps you realize that your true nature is to be the witness of your own life, rather than believe that you are the burdened doer of it all.

Congrats man!

What was your first practice test score two months ago? Also, can you compare Kaplan and MGMAT practice tests with the real GMAT?

Thanks!

first of all, Congrats on the GREAT score!
all the best with your applications

you said one should study from reliable sources,
can you please explain which sources are considered unreliable?

thank you

Congrats....Abhay....that was really awesome score...

I am also very interested in the second quotation which you have written in your debriefing. "Your GMAT score is irrelevant to who you really are, which is pure, innocent, intent-less Awareness. "

As I have taken initiation and yes will talk more on this subject.

here is my mail id - [email protected]

Yes we can chat on this topic through mail. I am also an GMAT aspirant.

Thanks and Waiting for your reply.

ALL THE BEST...![/quote]

@jaideepv1234

posting your e-mail id is an open invitation to potential spammers....so better remove it and try pming albatross a.k.a abhay

can you please explain which sources are considered unreliable?

I don't want to drop names, but if you PM me sources that you are considering I could "investigate" and let you know if it's worth your time

My suggestion is - go for any of the courses that are featured on BTG, they are all excellent.

what is your next plan, I mean which school u want to join? ........Yes we can chat on this topic through mail. I am also an GMAT aspirant.

I'm still consulting a counselor on possible options based on my profile, will post my plans soon.

If you have any particular queries on non-duality, please PM me and I will be happy to respond asap. Not sure what you meant by initiation as I am not speaking of any "sect" that requires initiation of any kind, simply a realization.

And yeah, I would recommend that you edit out your personal email to avoid being spammed/scammed. Thanks, and all the best!

On the first MGMAT I scored 730 and GMATPrep1 was 770, this was roughly 2 months ago.

I only gave Kaplan's trial CAT and scored 730, but wasn't particularly impressed. The quant was quite easy and the verbal unnecessarily vague. Both sections were rather erratic in the adaptive nature of the questions.

MGMAT tests were really good practice for speed and the extensive content you would be exposed to by the time you've gone through all 6 of them. The quant was tougher than the actual GMAT, and some verbal questions a bit vague but by large the best third-party CATs available. Highly recommended.

hmmmm........kind of OT...but what would be the score if the break-up is Q 44,V 51.....and yeah i realize V51 is an extreme rarity.
