[Champion_Spirit]

Hi Folks,

Myself an M.B.A wannable. Tried CAT 2003 got a boot from IIM's screwed it big time. thought GMAT would be better option.
Well My Profile.
Marketing Pro. Working For Asian Paints.
Already an M.B.A but from lesser Known Institute.

1. Have gone through much gyan on these threads Pycho and Baba Yaga have done great job lifting viels from GMAT
2. None at the thread discusses the chances of folks like me getting into colleges like ISB etc.
3. Well most of us know that OG and atleast one book be it PR (princeton review) or Kaplan would do. I have P.R and O.G.
4. Beyond that JJ's i.e (Jungle Juices are told to be good) but I have no clue how to grab them.
5. Looking for other resources beyond these can some body help me with that.

I have been through P.R and am currently in process of going through O.G.

Folks Please join this thread and please provide resources beyond OG and P.R etc.

I will keep U Posted about my progress with the GMAT prep.

Was your MBA course (the degree you hold) full-time, part-time, or correspondence?

The ability to justify yet another MBA degree would become an important factor, I guess.

Thanxs techKalvin for responding atleast.

First of all let me clerify my M.B.A venture furthure I am an M.B.A in marketing and I do understand that if I do go in for an M.B.A yet again this is going to be another glitch in my applying procedure for sure dure dare devil that I am I would still like to go for the Kill after all wise men say fortune favours the brave.

Lets get Cracking back to GMAT.

Will I write this post It is already post 12:00 night and the day today has been truly sapping if not demoralising.

1. I gave my first test from princeton review as all Indian students I too did well in Maths I got a M 45 well I know that score needs a bit pep up will I will sure do once I catch up with probability. I still don't know what is the probability of me getting probability right on the G-Day.
2. Well now the bad news my Verbal or English scores were pathetic a V 25 that was where I went blank and to tell U more post analysis I realized that RC was one of the areas where I was regularly getting myself kicked. Yes !!! Yes!!! I know first GMAT and no complains about SC (Sentence Correction) well I did reasonably well with 75% of SC questions correct.
3. A total of 590 well that was my first score I know that is poor but beleive me my analysis has revealed that half of the mistakes I did could be attributed as silly. Would bay over them once I learn more and also after developing some stamina beleive me folks !!! Sitting in front of a computer screen for 3 to 3.5 hours is a punishing exercise to say the least.

While I complete this post of mine there are some experiences that I would like to share with all who read this.

1. RC after maths and after writing those arguments can be sapping U would have to fight hard to keep ur concentration going.
2. SC!!! SC!!! every where this is and will most probably remain the perinial problem for nonnative english test takers. if u do good at it hats off pal.
3. Probability and Coordinate geometry may take most of ur energies in maths do that and beleive me u can reach a score of 50 easily.

While I complete my post I have a song from salam namaste playing in the backdrop so folks is salam namaste now and ofcourse I am looking forward at DUS BAHANE that GMAT may throw and I promise U I will make it tap at every of its bahane not being boistorous but Hey!!! be optimistic.

Will Keep U posted folks.

Am still looking forward for JJ's and GMAT sets folks be generous.
