Second Step

After the first step, you should know your strength and weaknesses (A ballpark). At this point I would like to share my schedule.

For me the biggest weakness was Sentence Correction. This is how approached it.

Books :

Verbal:
Manhattan GMAT Sentence correction - Get your basics right
Official Guide 10/11 - It has old retired GMAT questions
TestMagic forum

Quant:
Official Guide 11 - Good for practice
Other material, which I found on the internet. I ll be posting some here and share the tricks
TestMagic Forum

There are other study materials which I ll be sharing in future.

Feel free to post your questions and requests. I ll try to send out whatever information I have.

First Step - GMAT Prep

The first step is to find out what you are good at and what you are lacking.

The easiest way -
Download the latest copy of GMAT Prep and try to do the diagnostic for each section - Quant and Verbal. The software is free to download. All you need to do is to register on the website. You do not need to register for the exam.

Each Diagnostic section has 15 questions. Time each section.

You should give 2 min per question for Quant and 1.75 min per question for Verbal. This would give you a fair idea about your weaknesses and strengths.

The best option would be to give one of the exams too, but this is not required. Because in some cases it might reduce the person's confidence.

The Beginning

Hello Folks,

I just wanted to develop a community, where I could share my GMAT Experience as well as meet the future Managers. I would like to invite all the folks to share there tricks and strategies that helped them to achieve there scores.

I will try to give my 2 cents for the exam.
