2014 GMAT Prep and Strategies

Hello GMAT Aspirants,

My name is Aneesh, and I'm a IIT Madras Alumnus. I've been helping people for GMAT over the past 3 years and must've helped over 250 GMAT students till date. (I handle the QA section only).

I am also heavily active on BeatTheGMAT with around 400 posts and 25 followers and have a youtube channel for GMAT called GMATPad.

I am offering online tutoring (one-on-one or in small batches) to anybody who wants help in increasing their QA section score.

The course is very dynamic and suited to the needs of the students. For example, we can spend more time on the topics that you're weaker at. We could first start with the very basics of one topic where you need more help and just do the tough questions of a topic you are more comfortable with.

Without exception, each of my students have enjoyed studying with me and their score has improved.

You can call me at 9764205878

More when you call.

Regards and Best wishes,

Aneesh Bangia

Hey All,

I am planning to take GMAT and my aim is 750. I do not know where to start my preparation - like which material to use, is any coaching required, is the OG free etc etc.?

Is it better to take GMAT multiple times or make sure the prep is solid and then give one best attempt?

I have already given Indian MBA tests last year but decided not join as my goal is only top 10 here(but will try again this year). Also, I had given the GRE 4 years back and got 1430. This is to just let you know my background that I am not a fresher to MBA and similar exams and do not need to learn any basics.

I'm searching for best books for preparing GMAT,

I am really confused between GMAT Official Guide Review 

and GMAT Premier 2014 by Kaplan

Please suggest puys!

Giving the GMAT in 2 and a half weeks from now. Began by taking the practice test, with absolutely no prep.

Scored a 680 (Q48, V35). Any tips on how to go about the next stage of prep so that I can score a 750 on the GMAT?

I have the entire set of Manhattan material, and I plan to use that. Don't plan on getting the OG.

Thanks in advance.




I am an engineer and I have 2 years of post-qualification experience. But I have quit my job in August, 2013 and as of now, I am not doing anything. I am planning to write GMAT this year. Which colleges should I target and what will be the impact of the gap after job? And what should be my strategy thereafter? Please help.

Hi Guys,

I am facing this issue in RC and SC where in I always rightly narrow down to 2 choices...but a lot of times I end up choosing the wrong one from them...

Any suggestion would be helpful here... Thanks!

I am planning to write GMAT this year ,sometimes around september and apply for Fall of 2015 primarily in the US.

I am a BE graduate.I have around 4+ years of experience.At the moment i am Co-Founder at my own Startup ,we have already finished our angel round and have a few customers.I have extensive experience handling customers,business developments.i have actively participated and won regularly various competitions throughout my school,college.

What GMAT score would give me a healthy chance to get into the top colleges in US and ISB in India.

 On The flip side my Grad scores are not great with around 60%.What would be the impact of this ??
