Hello Puys,
This post is different from my earlier posts:grin:, I took my GMAT yesterday morning in pearson center Delhi. The Reason of posting it here is, from past one month this has been my default page in my laptop. As some of you must be knowing(although through pvt messages:)) about my G-Day and the kind of nervousness I had. When I finished my verbal and, I chose for seeing my result. Those 10 secs were tough
And phew!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quant : 48 (84 Percentile)
Verbal: 39 (87 Percentile)
========================================================
TOTAL: 710 (92 Percentile)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This message flashed out.
I thanked god with this score, and Procter congratulated me with printout without disturbing others.They again took my palm print and I came out silently.
My Journey: I kept balance between my official work and GMAT. I decided to prepare for GMAT in the last week of May'09. But I had no clue about materials and strategy for it, here PG played most of the role about getting materials, importance of each section and how to attack GMAT.I went to few of the roadshows and talked with alumnae over there, about GMAT scores and preparation required for it, everyone was saying 1(one) week:grin:, I was astonished to hear it(I know they were exaggerating the things, but believe me guys 2 months are more than enough for it).In fact I have started silently admiring this exam, which tests your calmness,nerves and smart choice of options under stressed condition.I thought of giving best shot with my disposable time(2 months) in last week of July.I had small issue regarding booking of date, which I booked as late as first week of July.I took the following tests while preparation:
Manhattan: 650 (2 weeks before G-Day)
Gmat Prep1:570 (In the beginning)
Gmat Prep2 : 690(1 week before the test)(with so many repeated questions in it)
I didn't give Kaplan Tests(I wanted to be positive before G-Day:)).
On G-Day:
First I got option to choose five schools, I had issue in it and one of the employee asked me the choices and filled for me.Then immediately AWA started.
AWA: I did no preparation for it, just glanced OG's AWA,I got some link of it and puys helped me(Vyomb,priyank12).My argument and essay both were easy and I wrote lavishly about it in four paragraphs.
Quant Section:Even though coming from IT Background I was nervous about some of the areas, but thankfully not encounterd them in actual GMAT.I could have increased my score in it with more attention.I finished this section before time with more than 2 mins left.
Verbal Section:I went with composed mind started attacking diligently, I did not wasted more time in initial 10 questions, Q.8 I got RC although big one of 4 questions, overall I received 4 RC passages. And able to finish in time the whole section, paid more respect to SC and squeezed CR and RC time.I could have scored more in RC, now I feel.
I got two 8 mins break, some time missed while getting up and again giving right hand palm prints while coming out and going to your seat(so total 5 min break only).Finished my RedBull two times and drank lots of water to keep my mind hydrated.
I owe this success to fellow puys(amsey1382, the_hate, srijack, vyomb, papa ji, roadside_cafe, vikram2010,BizzareNym, nuttyVarun, VIKX, Gatty07, guy with gutts, sdt83,@nee, pearlcrystal, Mcnabb_ISB,tarun_b, sidharthaduggirala, priyank12, Deepakram, Bhavin, Rajvedi & many more).Although not in this order, most of you have contributed in my score by posting questions, answering with explanation,giving suggestions and sharing of knowledge(timely GYAN) bhai log.Enjoy the process of going through the turmoils for G-Day:lookround:.
Material which I used:
OG 10,11,12
Kaplan Primier Edition and Verbal WorkBook.
Kaplan 800.
Manhattan SC (3rd Edition).
Spidey SC Notes.
Read Quant from web.
Tips:Take care of your health while preparation,once booked the date changing of it will cost you.Prepare from computer, coz you will be quite comfortable in actual test, during break dont drink too much water since these tests are more stressful than india-pakistan cricket encounter.Prepare yourself with enough stamina for 4 hours of stress.
ALL THE BEST P-Folks !
CHEERS !

mast phoda!Possessive poison....
call between -> D/E
D) My IMO..
reason "that of"..is unnecessary here...because, Plato's poetic narratives means the "poetic narratives of plato"...
now replace this in D..
The work of George Santayana is more reminiscent of poetic narratives of plato
OR in E
The work of George Santayana more resembles the work of poetic narratives of plato..
make a call?...what say..
OA is C.
Explanation says that E is wordy. Is it?
According to National Institute of Health, much of the sleep-deprived people would benefit from a short "power nap" during the day
a.

ahhh.. now it makes sense. generic vs specific. the or no the.
added one more to my SC arsenal
this one is subtle...
Someone posted the resoning for this....but this one may be addressed from school basics...(sorry if i sound like preaching...:grin:)
"The"...definite article...used for something which is definite...THE RAMAYAN, THE GANGES...in short one which is the Only One (look at the usage of the in my sentence too, i'm referring to also something definite here)...
Now comes the big question...
"the deprived people" - its not WRONG, if we are talking about a specific group of sleep deprived people....but a genric study seems to be talking about in general for those who are sleeping deprived and not in general about those who come from a specific group which consists of sleeping deprived people...
so no need for definite article "THE" here..
cheers:thumbsup:

What matters the most is GMAT....go for A) buddy..

Please explain your decisions
At Shiprock, New Mexico, a perennially powerful girls' high school basketball team has become a path to college for some and a source of pride for a community where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are below the poverty level.
(A) where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are
(B) where they have 49 percent of the household incomes
(C) where 49 percent of the household incomes are
(D) which has 49 percent of the household incomes
(E) in which 49 percent of them have household incomes
My pick D
Here "some" and "community" should be in parallel. Community is not a place therefore "where" incorrect. A,B, and C are thus out.
in E, "in which" doesnt make any sense either. Besides, who is "them".
Left with D finally.
