How to take GMAT by Harsh Vardhan

"Felt good since I was able to score in the range that I wanted to (750)"

How I did it: I kept procrastinating since I was never confident enough of my preparation. All my kaplan/princeton prep test never really crossed 680. I wanted to make sure that I scored at least 700 and hence wanted to prepare some more. Finally I was like I don't care, I have been postponing it again and again and have spent like $750 on postponing it. I was like whatever be my preparation it's important for me to complete the exam. I prepared diligently for 1 month and I took it.

Lessons & tips: It takes 1 month of diligent preparation, just sit down with it as much as you can. I always sat for a couple of hours after work and made sure I study.
Take as many preparation tests as you can.

It took me
45 days
It made me

How I did it: Close to 2 months of practice. Start with an hour a day, and as you progress you can increase the time.Make sure you do atleast 4 mock tests. And make sure you can do problems for a 4 hour test. You'll need the stamina for the test. Read how I did it…

It took me
3 months
It made me

How I did it: I bought the GMAT review (latest) edition and did the practice tests. But nothing in the books was able to prepare me for the endurance needed for a 3 hour test incl. the 2 intensive essay portions. I nearly did not finish one of the essays but fortunately scored a 5. The verbal was surprisingly okay, but I completely broke down in the math section. I was too emotionally affected by what I know and didn't know to concentrate on the questi… Read how I did it…

    This year 15 months ago

    I want to take my GMAT this year. I need to discipline myself to study for it. I’ve been out of school for a few years now. I know math is going to be my biggest thorn so I bought a study guide to start refreshing and may take math class..I need to check at the local colleges to see if I can get in one.

    hey all! 17 months ago

    I’m currently taking a Kaplan GMAT class – I just took 1st class was absolutely crazy- very humbling experience. I couldn’t believe I didn’t remember what prime numbers were lol.

    For those who are in the process (who have been out of school for a few years), did you intially feel overwelmed? How long did it take to get in a rhythm? What were your intial experiences?

    Here we go again-May 24 is the day. 18 months ago

    So I’ve realized that I tend to get freaked out on things that I am not sure I’ll do well in. Hence my annoyance with this friggin GMAT. I’m studying and diving right in. I’ve waited long enough to take the leap.

    Gotto get a 780 by March 23 months ago

    I am starting at a base of 700 which I got in my first test ever. Need to reach the 780 by the end of March when I am planning on giving the test. Need to start studying at least 2 hours a day and giving tests every weekend. Alternate between Math and English.
    Need to improve my tests results by almost 10 points ever week to reach this goal. So gonna keep posting my results as the weeks pass.
    Staring Jan 2 and ending last week of March.

    Kaplan CD helped 2 years ago

    I studied hard for this. Even though I usually do not do very well on standardized tests, I made a 630 (79th percentile). That along with a 3.8 undergrad GPA was more than enough to get into the MBA program of my choice. I say it’s not worth it because if I had it to do again, I would NOT have gotten my MBA because it hasn’t helped me get a good job without relevant experience.

    Budgeted for November! 2 years ago

    I have alotted money for this in November. My company will pay for 75% of my tuition after I enroll in an MBA program, so I just need to take this first step of taking the GMAT. I hope I haven’t been out of school so long that I don’t remember simple things! I must study!
