My GMAT

Hey, finished my gmat with a 700 : 50Q AND 35V. I am very happy at my verbal outcome. Want to share a few points on my preparation....

First, I was very determined to score high.Took some time off the office and concentrated on my GMAT atleast for 3 hrs daily. I ensured that I never lost sight off the Verbal section, esp the Reading comprehension.Admittedly, RC was the toughest nut to crack and I am proud of improving my success rate to 99% in this section. For folks who are poor at critical reasoning, I suggest regular practise: not the quantitiy of CR's but the quality of CR's you do matters. Let it be 5 CR's a day, but pls make sure you take notes on all the 5 CR's ytou do daily. It doesn't matter whther you have done them correctly; what matters is whther you took notes on all the questions- they help you a lotttt when you revise at the last moment.

Moreover, the important section which you should not neglect is THE SENTENCE CORRECTION. I bet you guys, if you master the SC's and RC's, your verbal scores will boost up.This is because the distribution of the verbal section has more of SC's and RC's in the beginning. I suggest you get aquainted with the Grammar rules. This helps but look out for more tips in my posts regarding SC's.

Finally , the math section in the GMAT is moderately tough. But it should not daunt any student from Asia. However, even if you make more mistakes in the math section, you wont be penalised as high as it is in the verbal section. So, keep your kool and concentrate on the verbal section guys. I ' ll share my experiences from my preparation.Thank you all....

  1. The suggestions are great. Since I carry my laptop everywhere, I usually go to www.examville.com to take online GMAT practice tests. The tests are timed and also have answer explanations.
