Did u find Qs similar to OG in ur GMAT?

I would advise you to treat each question on its merit. Dont spend too much time but dont give up too easily also.

As for similar questions, I didnt pay any attention to that. You've got enough on your mind without having to bother whether the questions are similar or not.

hey, see, before the test, the only thing u need to fill is ur list of colleges tht u want to apply...since u do not wish to apply this year, it does not make a huge diff. about ur choices..u can choose any 5 colleges and send it to them.. your future chances at those colleges will not be affected by ur sending of the scores to them now..the codes do includ eindian schools too..after u are done with the verification process before entering the room, just ask the person sitting there for a booklet containing codes of all institutes tht accept GMAT..then note down the State/Country and your programme on the erasable writepad tht u ll be given..thts about all u need..once u r done with ur exam, u ll be asked to fill in the other details..alternatively, you could fill it rite now by logging on to www.mba.com with ur profile and completing your profile...u will be given sufficient time to fill up the details so dont worry..chill...atb

One more Q
The completion of profile. Is it after we see our scores or before that?

i guess its before u can see your scores....neways, how would it matter if u have to complete your profile even after seeing your gmat scores ..

hi, i m by no means an expert at this since i m a fresher too, but judging by my glances at other posts wid similar queries and their corresponding answers, i feel it all depends on where u want to apply..if it is the ivy league, then wid 1.5 yrs work ex i feel u need to hv a stronger score, which might just tip the scales in your favour....bt if u lookin at univs like NUS, then MAYBE ur score is good enough..i suggest u still take a second opinion from someone more experienced though....all the best for ur applications and CONGRATS on ur score!! its nt tht bad!!
