Manhattan test sucks bigtime. I just hated to do the stupid new form of critical reasoning they gave. And i wasted 5 mins and all the concentration with the buggy scrollbar of the reading comprehension. Result was as I hoped, I couldn't even touch 700. A projected score of 670-690... And on analysis I realized I did 7 out of 14 CRs wrong. Normally CR is my strongest area in GMAT verbal.
And my friends told me not to hurry into full length tests. I think they are right. I'll do only OG and sectional practice tests.
Last weekend I had practiced OG. I gave myself 50 mins for 30 Cr questions. And a reward scheme. A cold drink for 5-10 mistakes, a chocolate for 1-5 mistakes and a surprise gift for none. i think I had underestimated myself. I made only 3 mistakes and was happy about it. So did I deduce that I am not bad at CR.
This weekend starts today. Lets see how far do I go this weekend.

The New Beginning
So here I am writing an MBA blog. I got the inspiration after I went through the blog links sent by a friend who has cracked Emory admit with a handsome schol this year.
My Background:
I am dreamer, did engineering in 2004 and am working for a software firm in bangalore. I wrote CAT last year and got a 99.73 but only one call from IIM Indore. The interview went just fine and I am waiting for the results to be declared on 12th April. I didn't prepare for the GDPI at all as I had no plans of joining IIMI. But now I might join if they send me a call. I don't regret not preparing for the GDPI.
I took the date for GMAT. Its on 5th June at 10AM. I wanted the morning slot as I do my best in the morning. Before that I had taken one Princeton test to assess where do I stand. I managed to get a 51 in Maths and 38 in Verbal. An overall score of 720. Not bad but the verbal score disappointed me. I have bought Princeton Review and managed to get OG 10th and 11th ed.
As of now my preparation is going very slow. I had planned to work on OG 10th in the weekdays and OG 11th in the weekend with one test on weekend.
But looks like I need to replan my studies.
I hope this blog helps me bring the focus I need. Will keep writing.
