Thrust

Here are a few links that I thought would be helpful in providing me the thrust needed to beef-up my efforts in cracking GMAT:

  1. 720 - People never fail they just giveup!
  2. 710 - Dream come true !
  3. 790!!
  4. 760!

Revisit

I thought I'd be done with my first attempt of GMAT ( circa Aug31st ), but thanks to my near dismal performance ( 660 :( ), I'm back to prepping for gmat and blogging my status.
The GMAT date this time is Nov 14th. Barely 5 weeks from now.

Here's the new material that I got after attempt1
1. Kaplan 2010
2. Princeton 1000+ questions.
I will update the CAT info once I decide on which tests I plan to take. I have afew things on my mind now viz., GMATFix, 800Score,etc.,

Since, I already took the MGMATs, I'm left with the Kaplan tests and ofcourse the new GMATPrep tests once I download them.

I do feel that I'm in a much better position than I was when I was about to take the test for 1st time, as I'm not aware of atleast a few of the pitfalls that can be overcome with diligence. But since I dont have the luxury of time this time around, I need to pace my preparation and try to utilize wk days in a better way than last time.

So, here's the plan.

Sunday's left:

Oct 18th, Oct 25th, Oct 31st, Nov 8th.

Every week: 2 CATs ( no essays ofcourse ) ( preferably on Wednesdays, Sundays )
I am going to revise the following material from last time:

1. OG 12th, OG 11th, OG Verbal 12th ( I dont have this book as of now ), OG Verbal 11th
2. Kaplan 2009, 2010
3. MGMAT SC guide ( That's what I did today - 5 chapters done, 5 to go )
4. Princetons 1000+

Also, I am going to make a habit of surfing beatthegmat forums a few minutes everyday to look at some of the inspiring posts and gameplans.

As of now, here's my plan on each weekday ( except the test date ):

1. 50 Quant questions, 20-20-20 Verbal questions.
