hey @leonidas.

thanks for starting this thread count me in

Glad to hear from you, Bhavi.

All the best for preparations.

Just to brief you - I shall commence studies with Manhattan SC along with Powerscore CR Bible and will try to finish it off by 2nd week of November. i.e. ~10th Nov. and also try to finish 1-2 chapters of Quant as well.

As Quant is not a big problem, but I am sure concepts to be brush up once again... I feel it will be better if we do atleast 1-2 LR questions in a day. As-usual as it happens with many aspirants, need to concentrate on verbal part more.

Do share your study plans or better suggestions if you have any!

Hey Leonidas... As posted by you , i will be starting with Manhatten SC and SC Grail. I am particularly rusty in Quant so ll be giving ample time to it.

btw i am not planning to write in April/May as i have my other exams in June. So probably after june i will write.

Wish you all the best for preparation.

rolfraj / bhavi112: Anyways it is better to figure out the areas of improvement at the initial stage – I recommend you to go thru the mock test either from OG / GMAT prep test. Once you are aware of what needs to be improved more, you can set the strategy and start your preps in a much planned manner.

Make sure if you start Manhattan SC / SC Grail / powerscore - you complete it and you have understood the concepts in depth. Discuss your doubts / queries in the forum. Read the lesson learnt from another threads, it will help you to get motivated anyways.

roy1088: I have read in so many forums that in most of the coaching classes - you won't feel the comfort level as they will just make you sit and ask to solve the OG or other handbook problems in front of faculty (expect few). Hence, its better to starts the preps by your own atleast for 2-3 weeks - if it don't work out - you may look for some coaching classes.

Visit gmating.com / beatthegmat for strategy and pl discuss it further.

Guys, Once you start – just make sure to complete the whole chapter / book. “As it's a general human tendency to resist the change” - hence at the initial state you may find it difficult but once you complete certain chapters / books / topics – you will feel more confident, for sure.

Logical reasoning is not the thing which can be learnt in a short period of time – please devote some time on it as well.

I hope it helps.

@Hex : I completely understand your concern, you have raised a very valid point and also I am sure most of the GMAT aspirants have this concern.
In my opinion, lets focus on the first hurdle i.e. GMAT and obtain a nice score. Financing mba and loan / scholarships will come on later stage. Even in India we have quite a few best institutes - you may also focus on those schools. Thanks,

@CBZ123 : Sorry dude, I don't have OG-13 so far!
