Road to MBA - DAY 10, Day 11, Day12 and Day13

Not much progress on the MBA front for the past few days, as lot of work at office and few unexpected events of the weekend.

Summary:
Completed Manhattan SC Guide
Started with OG 11
Stared 1000SC - completed 100 ques

Road to MBA - DAY 9

Still struck up with Sentence Correction. Its almost done now. Will be starting with OG on Saturday and another test on Sunday, hopefully i will be crossing the 650 barrrier this time

Road to MBA - DAY 8

After a disastrous second test, i did a deeper analysis and tried to figure out where i am messing it up, so here is the outcome

1. Loosing track of Math - I need to do some math problems everyday
2. Too slow progress with Verbal - I need to pull up my socks and finish Manhattan SC, and start with OG Soon
3. Track my progress wrt to OG daily and analyze the error logs
4. Go though the flash cards - I am not making use of it

Having decided that, here is my progress for the day 8:

- Completed two chapters in Manhattan SC. One more chapter left, after that i have to start with OG

Road to MBA - DAY 4 and Day 5

Couldn't blog yesterday :( Hence the summary of two days:

DAY 4:
Started to work on Verbal. Manhattan Prep SC Guide seems to be good book. I am picking up the speed now. Feeling lot more confident on Verbal now. Completed the first two chapters.

Learning's from the Day:
1. Avoid passive voice
2. Avoid being + verb form
3. such as is used to indicate examples, like is used to indicate similarity
4. Avoid redundancy
5. Dont change the subject when looking for the right answer
6. Check the singular and plural, subject verb agreement


DAY 5:
Today researched about the schools. Since i have to prepare for the essays as well, collected the info regarding the schools, downloaded various brochures. Rethinking the strategy of working on Verbal or Quant?

Road to MBA - DAY 3

Not much GMAT preparation for today. I am looking at the bigger picture ;), today brainstormed on "Why do I need an MBA". Collected a lot of points, hoping to prepare a CV soon and send it for analysis to few B Schools and ClearAdmit. This session also gave me the much needed motivation to stretch myself further!!!!
Now i have to do a MBA whatever it takes, and i will ensure i will clear the first hurdle the "GMAT" with flying colours.
starting with the Manhattan SC today, i have to hit 650 this weekend in the GMAT powerprep

Road to MBA - DAY 2

Not much progress today, still undecided as to how to deal with Verbal. Planning to start with Manhattan Verbal from tomorrow onwards. Have to compensate for today's loss of 1 hr tomorrow.
cant afford to be distracted by twitter.

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.”

Road to MBA - DAY 1

Here is the summary of Day1:

Took the Powerprep test and scored 610. Its a pathetic score to say the least. However i can now do a better analysis of my strengths and weakness.

Detailed Score :

Quant Score - 48
Verbal Score - 26 (???)
Total Score - 610

My takeaways from Day1

- Need to improve my verbal to a great extent.
- Improve my reading skills. ( For certain big passages i was not even able to read them completely, need to really work on my concentration skills)
- Dont assume things and solve ( for DA)
- Avoid silly mistakes in quant
- Brush up quant fundas

I know after practising on quant for some more time, i can improve upon my quant score, but i really have an uphill task for tackling verbal

The Road to an MBA

The road to an MBA begins with a GMAT. Now that i have scheduled my GMAT test, here is how i plan to go about it.

1. Gather info regarding the GMAT - DONE
2. Purchase the GMAT Bibles - OG Series - DONE
3. Brush up the fundas - DONE
4. Start with Quant from OG - IN PROGRESS
5. Start the SC from Manhattan SC guide - YET TO START
6. Start CR using powerscore - YET TO START

Apart from all these i am planning to take a weekly test and track my progress and ofcourse spend atleast half an hour reading The Economist and NY Times

A new life n a new beginning!!!!!!

Its a new life a new beginning.. A very short but sweet song from the movie - Bachna Ae Haseeno.

Well i am now drawing inspiration from this song, and planning a start a new life. the last one year has been very demanding, hence a long break from blogging.

Wondering what the new beginning? Here it is:
1. Booked the GMAT test on 10th August

So until then Eat GMAT, Drink GMAT and Sleep GMAT
