Hi Ashish,

I believe u already have the prep material for GMAT. If not, then I'd suggest Princeton (with 4 online mock tests). Another good one is Barron's. Also you can downld some free tests form mba.com

First take an Eval test (timed) to check where you are and how far you gotta go. Make sure you have a reasonable target. If you get a 45 on Q and 30 on V (which should count as 610), then concentrate on both. If you get something like Q - 48+ & V - 35+ (670+), then concentrate on V, at the same time making sure that you dont loose out on Q. Also check where you are making most of the mistakes and work on those areas.

After going thru the above, if you get the same scores on 3 consecutive tests, the possibility of going up is minimal. Then you train urselves on keeping it together on test day. How do u do that? Just take tests in the most disturbing situations. TV on, Kids crying, Heavy metal music, etc. Whatever $^&^( life can throw at you.

Sound like a GMAT trainer / consultant. Well, may be I shud try being one.

GMAT Total Score calc: (Scaled Q + Scaled V)*7.5 + 50 and round it.

Any idea about how to find the status of the recommendations ?
It is showing 'Approved' for both the recommendations.

Does it mean that they are not complete ?

(Ofcourse , I know that I can ask the people who are writing them, but is there any other way ? Don't want to irritate them till the they click Submit )

Thanks

Just check with them if they have recieved the link to the online rec forms. If they did, wait for them to submit. ISB will send you the following email once ur recommenders submit rcv the eval.

"Dear Geetha,

We've rcvd an eval from XXXX as part of your app for PGP 2009-10"

Hi y'll,

Lets keep everything in 1 single thread. This threads title is "ISB 2009 Aspirants" and I believe it should cover everything, from start to finish. Apps, IV calls, IV experiences and final results. Everything, so that the next guy, gal or any pagal that wants to find info, can & will find it all in 1 thread.

Any other suggestions?

Once the R1 deadline is over, and especially when the R1 shortlist comes out, this thread will be abuzz with interview related stuff.

The hard thing to do would be to ensure that all interview experiences are logged, and to provide a means for easy identification of those posts.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi

I am applying in the second Round.
