Well, the GAME is ON......

Its been like 4 months since i last blogged and I am back after an un-satisfactory low GMAT score. Had my final attempt last week and the result was -- Phew.... yup its low. Am i a real poor CAT taker..huh.. No clue.. and dont wanna think about it as well.

Followed by the score revelation, I submitted my profile details in forums and to admission consultants for evaluation. Ok the question is just two here.. 1. Whether to re-attempt - not a viable option eh !!... 2. or to Proceed with the app process. Of course, most (not actually most.. its all)of the responders came back with the obvious Option 2. I guess, its "Worth a shot but with a stellar application". Few tips from fella applicants - Amar, came across his blog recently though, but gud ones and Oh Ya, one of my best buddies, A who has encouraged me to the level till now he he - made me to move on . Thanks ya !!. After all this, the Game is on and moved on to Step 2, after a not-so-great step 1 (my GMAT).

One of my favourite quotes, "The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly" always made me to move on. "Its not that how much you fail, its that how much you bounce back.... "

With that said, I am ready to face the reality this time. Keeping my fingers crossed (Wish i had more fingers atleast for this lol..) and all set for the reality check. Working on shortlisting the schools. Lets see how it goes...

Hoping for the best !!!

GMAT - My Typical Syllabus and Study materials

I have started again with my prep for gmat and came up with the materials to be covered. Below is my detailed syllabus -

Quants:
- Manhattan Books ( for 4 topics), OG Series, GMAT prep bank - with 175 + 75, 199 and 99 Questions collection ( didn't work on ths in my prev attempt)

Verbal:
SC
- OG Series, Manhattan SC, Adam Johns Notes, Psahil, Spidey Notes, GMAT Prep - 175 ques bank

CR
- CR Bible, OG Series, LSAT Logical Questions for practice

RC
- Manhattan Edition ( not so gr8), few RC Tips, OG Series, LSAT Practice Question ( didn't work on it n my prev attempt)

FLT
- MGMAT Series - 6 tests
- GMAT Prep - 2 + 2

With the above, yet my score was not great as expected - not even to the mark. Am i missing something ???.... Am i lagging somwhere or lacking sumthing... The biggest prob i had is, either in CR or in SC, i was always confused b/w 2 choices and was not confident on my correct ans. That would be the biggest problem, may be i am not strong on the concepts.. may be more revision.. Phew !!! With all this said, started with my prep again and looking for real gmat very soon for 3rd time - i really wish that would be my last attempt :) :) ...
