Updates for today...

The prep is going pretty well as of now, partly because of low workload. Even though I did my daily volume of work and attended a sudden meeting, I was able to squeeze in some time to revise OG DS from problem 25 to almost problem 50. I should say I am slowly getting confident.

Plan to go home and put in a couple of hours for CR and SC practice. That will be really awesome!

Look forward to updating the blog in the evening...

Plan for tomorrow!

Didn't notice that I had stopped putting up targets and updates on the progress of the preparation. I can really use this as the best example of how procrastination destroys someone :-(

Plan for tomorrow:

1. Quant:
Theory: Revisit MGMAT Number Properties
Practice: OG DS, problem 15 to 25, i guess.

2. Verbal:
Theory: MGMAT SC and CR Guide

Practice: Kaplan CR & SC

Blogger iPhone App!

Probably this is what I needed the most!

I have realised that I desperately need to do some self-talking when I have to focus on things. In case of the GMAT Prep, my blog has served as the best medium to self-talk. It was a shame that I did not discover the iPhone Blogger app before.

Thanks for this app, Blogger! I will be able to connect back to my blog and focus better!

Way to go!!!

Back on track?? GMAT Prep #5

Well that 610 the other night had scared the daylights (and all other lights) out of me!
I was working on Quant ever since and today's GMAT Prep showed that Quant is slowly getting within my grasp...

I put up an okay show with 640, and the breakup is really interesting...It was a Q44 V34, making me believe that if I put in systematic study of Verbal, the dream 700+ score is not really out of my reach. Of course, it will mean some effort from my side, and the score today has been encouraging enough to get me back on track.

The business trip that is looming large on my October 11 G-Day will not be able to deter me from putting in my best efforts. I should be back to the blog tomorrow night, live and kicking!
Here I come, you b$%%#rs!!!

29 days to go...

Another debacle...

Took GMAT prep again just to reach a meager 610 with Q39 and V34. I am seeing a steady decline in my Verbal scores, whereas Quant has always been at a constant 39. This means I need to look at improving Verbal up by at least 10 points, and Quant by 7. I am working towards it, but it seems a bit difficult with all the pressures on the work front.
But I can't give up now. Need to get back on track and improve!
Will put the next update tomorrow, and make sure there are no more hiccups!

30 days to go....

Still trying to get back on track...

Am trying to get back on track by looking at flash-cards, etc. but am not able to get the momentum. I guess I need to work on it for another couple of days and I will be there.

In any case, will take up Kaplan and MGMAT Guides. Won't really give up. Another business trip to Europe may force me to postpone the exam again, but want to be completely prepared before that, i. e., start hitting 700s.

Will get up in the morning and study....

33 days to go...

Pathetic preparation forces me to postpone the exam...

Well after a real long absence, here I am with the latest post..

Not much to write. Did nothing over last two weeks. Got a V37 Q39 and 620 on the exam today. Was surprised Quant has not been as bad as I was expecting. In any case, need to pull my socks.

Had to postpone the G-Day to October 11. Need to slog till then and start getting 700+ at least on GMAT Prep.

Attended the Chicago Booth Event and was pleased to meet some nice people. Will continue to update on that as well. Nothing much, just frustration all around me!

Will post tomorrow morning when I am in a better mood :)
