Hi Everyone,
I guess this post will be the most interesting for people who are currently studying for the GMAT or for someone who wants to see an average joe's experience prepping for the test.
About me:
I'm in my last semester of my bachelor in an European university. Couple days ago, while talking with an old friend, I realized that I have a decent to good chance to be accepted to a good business school (in Europe) for my masters (planning on starting next fall). Well, apart from good grades, internships, extracurricular and work experience I need to score well on the GMAT. The caveat is that I am on a tight schedule. To be more precise 12th of December tight.
GMAT test day : 12th December 2019
Days to GMAT: 23
Prep Test 1 (GMAT Prep 1): 19.11.2019 620(Q37,V38)
So, I ordered the OG 2020 which arrived yesterday and signed myself up to take the GMAT. After a day of reading the "theory" sections of the verbal as well as quant part and doing some online exercises I decided to immediately take the first official prep test today for a baseline score. I got a Score of 620 Q37 V38. I'm pleased with my V38 for a start but not so much with my Q37 as I am usually a bit better in math test. I also felt that the further I was in the quant part the easier the questions got. I guess I did my big mistakes at the start of the quant section.
Now my goal is to score above 700!
The good part about still being a student is, that I can free up these 23 days quite well to only focus on studying for the GMAT.
For me, this thread will be mostly to keep track of my work progress and connect to fellow preppers.
Any advice on how I should tackle my preparation is highly appreciated :D.
Feel free to connect or just drop a hi, I'll definitely keep an eye on the thread.
My goal for tomorrow is to come up with a study plan and start to properly preparing myself.
P.S. Please apologize if my post might seem a bit chaotic, I guess they'll get a bit more structured as time progresses.![]()
