Hi Soumen,

When did you start your preparation, if you have just started then it would be better to start with something relatively easy like Princeton then later you can start with Kaplan & OG.

Manhattan review for Sentence Correction is a must. I am also about to start my preparation, have gathered all books and resources.

Hi all,

I too am looking for some good GMAT coaching centres in Pune.
I have had a word with IMS, Career Forum, Princeton Review, Bulls Eye and D-Oak's.

I think IMS and Bulls eye are better options.

If u think any other better options than the above two, please notify me.

Thanks,
Rahul

I really dunno about bull's eye...but among others IMS is a gud choice...I used to teach there...but this is a totally unbiased advice...and I advise you to first check the faculty out before enrolling for the class...

But personally I feel self-study is more than enuf...check out my blog. I hope it helps...

ISB last date was around mid nov...

Hi meetgmat,

By GMAT test center I meant registering for the GMAT final exam on mba.com and not test series. So are there any GMAT test center in Pune as they have in mumbai for appearing for the final GMAT test or I have to travel to Mumbai for the final exam?

Thanks,
Pappu

Sorry mate...
There are no GMAT Test centres in Pune...
Mumbai is the closest one... others are Hyd, Chennai, Banglore...
i think Ahmedabad as well...
Hope this helps...

I have following queries:
1) Ain't there any GMAT test center in Pune?

U can contact IMS/TIME/Dilip Oak or any institute that take GMAT classes... they do have test series kindaa thing as well...

2) To score in GMAT verbal do I have to prepare vocabulary wordlist like people prepare for GRE or CAT?

It will definitely help...

3) Does GMAT maths also test for Ecllipse & parabola ?

I havent came across anything lke this yet...

I am not joining Princeton coz iv heard somebody from my company joined and he had a very bad exp....plus its too expensive...Right now i have no material apart from RS agarwal new edition for class 12th..Sameer now i have found out about Bulls eye which is taking a four month batch for only 10K plus provides their own material and follow a particular bible through out the coaching.I am just joining to give me a head start and have some kinda schedule while preparing .we guys can really come together and prepare ourselves well in the mean time we can eve do some research in our respective workplaces about the same. Will definately share the material and CD's once i join ..I would like to have a look at the OG books as i just want to go through the material once .....

Does anyone has the RS Agrawal Quant OLD edition, not the NEW one, then pls let me know.

Choosing the right material for study is very imp, classes doesnt matter much.

I am having the OG (all 3 ) , Kaplan 800 and verbal with me, i can share them if anyone is interested.

Regards,

Samir.

I do have the old RS Agrawal... do let me know if u requrie the same for photocopying or similar thing. One query... why so stress on old one...

Hi Guys,

I had joined the IMS, the material is not at all good. They say they have a new material this time. Don't know if that is really worth.

Dilip Oak is good but they have weekdays timings i believe. If it is possible for anyone to manage it then its ok. Rightly said, Princetion is 25K.

Is anyone has material from Oak's then pls let me know. I want to have a look at it.

If anyone is joining Princeton, then can he share it with me, just wanted to have a look at it.

Do you think this span of time is enough for the preparation...The course fee is too hig though.....25k which is much higher than the other coaching classes ....!!
Call me for more discussion:

Hi Onjon,

However its the same dilemma i am facing here at pune, really dont know which class to join, IMS / Princeton, i think u r very correct about Dilip Oks!

Bye

Hi I recently did some research ... IMS doesn't seem too good with their material and classes for GMAT from what I heard from some colleagues/ friends. I am not sure if CL does GMAT in Pune thought they offer courses from Veritas in Mumbai. Not heard that much about CF... Dilip Oak is kinda popular but from a visit I didnt feel that much of an learning environment personally (i may be wrong) ... some friends are studying with Princeton Review at (one lucky guy got a call from Wharton last month) .. they have a fac who is a graduate from uchicago GSB... planning to join their weekend batch from 9th Dec.. environment and all seemed good... others please let me know your views... thanks

Hey everybody
I am Akshay. Working in IT company and planning to give GMAT somewhere around may 2008. I am having OG10 only can anybody please share material with me especially for verbal. I feel I could score well in maths. The main worry is English. Even if anybody is having any softcopy plzzz share. There was a post by someone, dont remember his name who has joined the class. Can you plzzzz guide us with our studies or atleast tell us names of books which I can use.
I am having sample RC questions in soft copy and OG10s hardcopy.if anyone wants it you can PM me. will meet up somewhere to share the study material. Guys lets share our materials and help each other plzzzzzzzz.........

Regards

Aki :-)

Hey aki,

i don't think u've googled this site thouroughly.:neutral:....There are a lot of materials u'd find on this site and on www.scoretop.com
As for the info u require on the study plan or name of books etc, go thru the test experiences of people in this site and also on scoretop. U'd find 'a lot' of info on how to go abt preparing and what books to buy and what not to buy etc etc..more info than u can handle.... U'd get a very good idea.

U've got a lotta time man...chill..
