Today

Hi,
Today I have started with OG and Manhattan - Inequalities book.
Manhattan strategy guides are definitely a treasure hove.
Esp few pointers in Inequ were excellent.
Did a few PS and DS today.
SC is my weakness but e-gmat.com is fantastic.
If you are preparing for GMAT definitely check out e-gmat.com
I am hoping to present a write up esp on that website.
Happy gmatting,
Nidi

AWA score

Update on AWA score.
5.0.
Did not believe I will get any better. Good enough for me.
I had spent only 2-3 hours preparing AWA.
Next time it will be better.

My GMAT Journey so far

Hi,
My GMAT journey so far has not been different from so many others.
Started preparing for GMAT in Sep 2010.
Was confident of joining the 700+ club because I had been getting above 700 in all test preps till the test date.
GMAT date Dec 6th 2010, Cyclone, no taxis, no autos, running in the streets to catch some mode of transportation to the exam center, drenched, shivering, upset, reached, waited half n hour longer because the center manager and the assistant came late, started taking the test, shivering in the AC, went from worse to worst, gave AWA, was feeling just about OK, started quant, getting worse, started verbal, worst-temperature started rising, everything started flying above my head....result came 650! :( Quant 47, Verbal 33.
Head dropped, tears overwhelmed, rushed home, slept, woke up, booked the test date for Jan 13th, OG back in hand.
HMMMMMMMM.....that is where I am right now.
Success is a revenge....And I will revenge my failure.
750 is a done deal
Regards,
Nidhi
