As they say, where you end, is based on how well did you plan.

With ISB in sight, I wanna prepare for GMAT. However, here are basic questions which I am yet to figure out:

1. Can I get some real GMAT like material to evaluate where I stand at present? Just wanna check, say through a realistic test, whats the chance to crack GMAT?

2. Institute or own study? If self study is advised, which all books?

3. Is GMAT tough like CAT? I cannot mug up things at all.

Fellows, please help as this is my first baby step..I can max afford 5 hours a week for studies...ISB 2013 possible?
