I somehow managed to calm down myself and tried to think that what was lieas ahead of me is the major thing.. How manyB-schools really care about the AWA score if u get a stellar GMAT score? ( Some schools do, but anything that could have a cooling effect on me was fine with me [...]

“The day” arrives..
Well, after all those months of preps and many mock GMATs, I guess I was ready for my encounter with the beast.. 13th was the day. And though 13 is an often cursed number, it has never ever proved unlucky for me.. And I hoped that 13 will be good for me this [...]

But what I actually scored was a lowly 610 No probs with [...]

Well, after having tastes of two Kaplan tests and also after reading the experience of some stalwarts, I didn’t keep my target too high… Assuming a 700+ is almost impossible to touch in a Kaptest, I targeted 680-690 in my Kaptest 3..

Wrote a powerprep yesterday night….
This was the first full length test in which I also wrote timed essays.
Am pretty excited about the score… But still it’s not that perfect an indicator. In fact that’s quite inflated as some questions were already covered in the OG and the correct answers started shouting in mind even before [...]

Summing up quicly, what I’ve done over the last two and a half month.. ( Had started the preps in mid Jan)
Started with a crack-the-gmat free test.. My score there was 600. Quants 46; Verbal somewhere in early 30s. Though wasn’t any excited about the score, but this test was more to give me an [...]
