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 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 7

Outcome of Day 7:
- More insights into usage of pronouns and adjectives
- good progress with Manhattan SC guide

Took a MGMAT, scored pathetic:

SCORE & OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
TYPE	SCORE	ESTIMATED PERCENTILE RANK
Quantitative	38	55 %
Verbal	29	56 %
Total	560	57 %

Lessons Learnt:

- Dont ignore quant, keep practicing everyday
- Dont be overconfident
- start with the OG as soon as possible

Road to MBA - DAY 6

Had a very tiring day at office today, couldn't do any GMAT preparation.
However i collected the info regarding the Essays and related stuff. So not entirely a day wasted

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.
