3. whats the diff btew workbook and other books?
how long do u think it takes to prepare for gmat?
i have appeared in cat this year and had a okish score.
can the cat prep help?
generally ppl suggest to stay away frm wren & martin for gmat, did u find it useful?
i am new to pg, so if i have asked a stupid question, plz dont mind.
thanx

Hi seaking,
Some of the things I have already answered above.

I dont have the link to those notes as I got them from my friend.
Workbook si a different book just for Verbal section and had good questions.

I took a month, it depends.... i know ppl who have taken 20 days and cracked it.. it depends from person to person.. but 2 months should be good enough.

Wrenen and Martin was good to start with.. just read the english usage section whenever u are free.. dont try to cram it or depend on it totally.. it just gave me the initial push.

Cat prep ..well no learning goes waste.. it surely will help as maths will be easy for you. Verbal is very different though.
Cheers

Seaking,
I am not in delhi

Well I got them thru a friend.. but i know i saw link to that on PG and other sites like scoretop.com or sentencecorrection.com so searcch a bit and you will get it.

Well I have no clue abt IMS material. But i will prefer more standard material.
Take a diagnostic test and see where you need to work on more and start working on those areas.

I am taking GMAT in the 3rd week of May but sadly i have not been able to gear up for the studies as expected due to work pressures.
Do u have anything to suggest as to how i can go about my preparation in the next few weeks?

Hey Pooja,

A more specific question would have been a better one to answer

Anyway, I think depends on ur current abilities as to how much time you might need to prepare. I think you have enough time..just get started with ur weakest area.. if its SC ..its for most of the ppl.. then getspend some time getting familiar with the basics..one u r done with that..start with other books and practise tests etc. use 1000Sc 1000 CR etc..

Hope that helps..
