GMAT Prep: Week 10

Posted on May 27, 2011

Again I will remind you that the schedule has branched into two: Verbal Focus and Math Focus. If you feel that you need more focus on Verbal, you should choose the Verbal Focus. But, if you think you are good in Verbal but need more focus on Math topic, choose the Math focus. I suppose you have already done this in the start of the last week. So continuing this week from last we will finish the rest of the material. Enjoy! Choose your branch: Verbal Focus OR Math Focus Branch A: Verbal Focus This week we will take up from where we left last week in SC. We will finish revisiting the Manhattan Sentence Correction. Then we will focus on concepts and strategies in RC from...

GMAT Prep: Week 7

Posted on May 2, 2011

Before we start this week, I would like to tell you something important. On the GMAT you have 75 minutes for 41 questions in Verbal. That is less than 2 minutes per question. And if you consider the relative toughness of SC, CR and RC questions, the recommended time to solve problems from each category is: 50 SC questions per hour, 7 Passages or approx 42 questions from RC per hour and 38 questions from CR per hour. When you solved the Kaplan Verbal last week, the practice test had similar times for these sections. Now considering this the target time, I have designed the following week. It has got some slack, but it is the least you have to aim. So let’s get down...

GMAT Prep: Week 1

Posted on Apr 12, 2011

In the first week we will get to know the Verbal Section on the GMAT. For this you will need to buy a standard Kaplan GMAT or Princeton GMAT book. The sections in these books are fairly easy and the number of problems are also less. So they are perfect books to begin with. I had a Kaplan GMAT for myself. In two weeks we will finish the entire week. First week will be devoted to Verbal and second week to Quants and a diagnostic test. As I said earlier I am expecting you to at least study for 3 hours at a stretch daily. If you could take out 4 hrs, that will be awesome. I will from here on refer to a 3-4 hours sitting as a Session. See my earlier post on how to set up...
