Not to be rude manager but seems you aren't managing the resources well. go around the various threads on the gyan.
you will find the answers that you seek..
enuf to confuse I am sure ;-)

hey kunal,

actually i really got bugged up with the everyone's views on the prep strategy.
so i hv laid down my own track.
i wil be starting off with princeton review.
then i will be covering OG's verbal and quant side by side
then comes kaplan's verbal
and before starting off with the OG(11th edition) i will be going through the kaplan 800.

am i on the right track

Hi ,
I am new to Pagalguy and this is my first post. I would really appreciate if someone can help me by answering these questions.

1) Where can I get the Princeton review tests ? The Princeton review 2007 edition comes with at DVD but it doesn't have any tests.

2) Where can I get the Kaplan tests ? Is there an link from where I can download ? I checked a few bookstores here in Bangalore but I couldn't find the Kaplan CD.

3) Please suggest the bookstores where I can get these CDs.


Thanks,
Ravi.


Ravi,
1) Not sure abt princeton, haven't purchased it.

2) 'Kaplan 2006 premier with CD' is actually book + CD. These wont be available in street corner bookshops, but only in bigger mall-like stores like Landmark, Expressions, Higginbothams etc. Please try such places. In Landmark, even if they dont have it on shelf, if you want 'any book' they will procure it for you. . You can't download these Kaplan tests from net as well.

3) Visit big bookshops and enquire with the salesmen or 'private messenger' any one of the Bangaloreans in PG and get the details.

All the best.

You can visit Gangaram's on MG Road. That will be the biggest bookstore.
Alternatively, if you want to go through the books first, then you should go to Landmark in Forum and check them out. Crossword might also have some of them. Though not sure if you can get just the CD's from any of them.

I have the Princeton 2k6 version. I haven't really started preparing from it, so cant tell you how good or bad it really is. Also, you will find mixed opinions on both Kaplan and Princeton, on the thread. It really is up to the individual as to what suits them the best.

Can any of you tell me how good are those 'paper tests' in 800score.com?

They are available for $20 for 5tests. I am running short of tests and thought getting some from there.

Thanks

Hi abhay/amit

1. Delhi center specific qns:
a) do they provide head phones on request?

they shud. didn't need them. the environment is pretty silent. unless you refer to some construction work noise.

b) condusive atmosphere for the exam?

absolutely. i thot they exceeded by expectations

c) eatables allowed?

yes. but not inside the examination room. you have to keep that stuff outside in

d) any specific issue any one faced... ???

none that i faced. it is pretty consumer-friendly i wud say.

2. Summary of qns already covered above:
a) general condition of that place?

decent enuf i wud say.

b) separate cabins?

there are no separate cabins but cubicle style seating. the general feel is ok i wud say. not much of a bother.

c) any disturbances for which one needs to be prepared

the area doesn't seem to be having any renovation/construction work going on right now. but the room did seem a bit sound proof. not sure though cause was concentrating more on the test than the world ;-)

Hope it helps

Cheers

first and foremost: practice. rules amount to nothing if you haven't gone thru the experience.

practice a bit more.

if that doesn't help. call me up sometime in the late evenings..

Hi Kunal,
i just go the info that we can send the scores to 5 B-schools of our choice free of cost. Please verify this info.
Can u provide some info on what criteria one should select the schools like range of expected scores etc.
I have to appear for test in mid july, and i think now I am short of time to search all these B-schools.


Please tell me how to go about it.

the info is correct.
but i dont think i can or rather should be telling you what schools to send the scores too. sending scores later on can be expensive. i suggest you take out time to research.

others can only give an opinion. choices are always subjective you know.

I posted this in another forum but didnot get any reply, so posting it here.

I am planning to subscribe for the 60 day VIP membership option in score top web site. I have learnt that they give practice questions for GMAT.
I want to know whether the practice questions have explanations for the right and wrong answers also?
I am asking this because I already have 1000 SCs and am solving them, but without an explanation, I am finding it difficult to understand the reason why some answer is right (all it has is the correct answer).

thanks in advance

237

Rakesh,

1) The Official Guide (11th edition) doesn't come with a CD. It is a book with retired GMAT questions.

2) The Powerprep test is no longer available on the site. You can download GMATPrep from mba.com

MODS:

1. i'm just providing the link for the material not the actual material. so i suppose, it's legal according to PG rules..!!

2. just like mentioning scoretop.com, i'm hereby mentioning another material URL. both are GMAT dedicated websites. so i'm not providing any copyrighted material.



GMAT material :


http://thembamasthead.blogspot.com

go to this address for the GMAT SETS (which by experience are the best material for the preparation)

info :

1. GMAT sets are the actual GMAT questions

2. scoretop.com provides a subset of these 'complete' sets.

how to :

1. go to the blogspot and click on GMAT sets link on the blogspot home page.

2. to get pin,click on 'Buy Now' button and the activation PIN no. (like a password) will be sent by the mail.

advantages :

1. these are the 'complete' sets. thus more in number. those on scoretop.com are the subsets of these.

2. all 2005 JJs (Jan to Dec) which are actual GMAT questions will be given as bonus

similarity:

1. just like the material on scoretop.com, it's paid.
but..(refer to the advantages)
