Part of me really wish that I would have this done by now, especially with the possibility of schools releasing their essay questions early this year. But I don't think I am behind either. I should have started studying on my three week vacation to China earlier this year, which by the way was AWESOME (one of my favorite pics that tells you a lot about being in China)
(where are you going, um.. I don't know I am just following the guy in front of me)Here are my plans for GMAT studying the rest of the way. It seems a bit excessive but I probably need it. I am sure some adjustments will need to be made along the way.
Week 1 + 2 -get used to the exam + Kaplan Premier + CD.
Done, overall did pretty well on the short section CD practice questions, I got anywhere from 3-5 or worst 8 wrong out of 15-27 questions, each section was 25 minutes long. However I really BOMBED the much longer exams got a 620 and 590 on the practice exams. By the end of the practice exam, I was basically mentally retarded and got half of the verbals wrong because I just wanted to take a break. So I really need to build my stamina. My best sections are Math and RC, my worst are CR and SC, no surprises here.
Week 3 -Princeton Review Guide + CD
Week 4 -Barron's Guide + CD
Week 5 -Manhattan SC + other Manhattan review books
Week 6 -Kaplan 800
Week 7 -Quant and Verbal OG
Week 8 -OG + review
Week 9 -More OG + Review
Test targeting end of June, If I get say 720...I would be very very very very happy.
I bit of good news last week, my manager...I guess ex-manager since I just moved to a new department, has just agreed to write me recommendation letters for this fall. She is really solid, and had given me good performance reviews in the past. I am glad to have secured her recommendations.
I'll try to post some informative MBA topics next blog...

hi there! :) I'm also a prospective 2011er applying to business school this fall. Round oneeeee! It's not that far away and I'm freaking out. Anyways, email me at Oscar.oscar@gmail.com if you'd like to chat about the process. I have visited a few schools and have some knowledge about certain programs. Hope to hear from you.

Hi, my name is Josh, and I'm a recent Stanford GSB graduate. I’d like to offer your readers some helpful information. I recently surveyed my classmates, friends and colleagues, and asked them to discuss their application strategies, as well as advice for entering MBA students, for Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, and Kellogg. I compiled the responses into a FREE 21-page report available at http://www.ExpertCollective.com. Stanford MBA applicants tell me that the information is really helpful in filling-out their essays with detailed and specific information, while the entering first-years appreciate the advice on how to make best use of the 2 years at business school. I’d love to have you review the full version of the report (80+ pages) if you think you’re readers might be interested. Please send me an email at josh@expertcollective if you’d like me to email you a copy to review for your blog.
Best wishes for your success!

nice post! It’s something I have never thought about, really, but it makes a whole lot of sense. Thanks for sharing GMAT classes
I’m a new reader and have been very impressed with your recent posts and thought to drop a friendly note. It is really a great information indeed. Waiting for more posts related to GMAT practice test.
NICE BLOG!!! Your blog is very informative for us. The GMAT(Graduate Management Admission Test) is a standardised computer-adaptive test that measures verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills. The test is designed to help management schools to assess the potential of applicants to succeed in their MBA programmes. GMAT Atlanta | USMLE Courses
Increasing competition among the students has only made it tougher to get through important exams. It has become necessary to rely on prep courses to improve academic performance. I’m also looking for a good Bar Exam Prep course to help me for my upcoming exams and would appreciate some suggestions.
