Hi All,

I got to know from PG posts that these books are required for GMAT preparation -

1) Kaplan Premier Program
2) Official Guide Review (OG)
3) Kaplan 800
4) Official Guide Review Verbal
5) Manhattan SC book

i have few queries, which i need u all's help :

1) can any one please tell me where to get these books - at book stalls /shops are these all books available ?

2) if we register for GMAT ,will they give any books apart from GMAT prep software tool.

3) How is MATHS and VERBAL GMAT syallabus different from CAT/XAT. Do questions come from specific topics of MATHS and VERBAL in GMAT ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Baichung,

Thanks for your help. Could you please tell us the books you had referred for GMAT and the time you took for preparation as I had started my preparation since Feb 2010 and planning to take up GMAT in last week of July. It would be really helpful if you could provide some information on GMAT.

Thanks,
Krithiga


Hi Krithiga,

I referred to the Kaplan book on Gmat and thats the only book i referred to. Also, they gave a CD along with the book.
It took me 1 - 1.5 months of preparation. I was good in Maths, so basically I had to prepare for the English section alone well.

Some tips:

1. I did not practice writing the Essays. I read some sample essays, and as part of preparation, I would jot down quick remarks but never wrote full essays before the exam. i would suggest you do not do this. Try writing at least two full essays within the stipulated time.

2. I also did not write the full test once in one sitting. I used to practice Maths and the English sections separately. but in the exam I found that writing the two essays takes a lot out of you. You then have the Maths section which was relatively easy for me. But I felt totally exhausted after the Maths section and somehow managed to complete the English section. So would suggest you practice doing a full length test twice so you get used to it.

You can PM me also if you want any specific information.

Best wishes.

Hi Everyone!

I am relatively new to PG and love what I have seen so far in the forums.

I am a UK B-School aspirant presently working with a Big 4 accounting firm in Chennai. I am planning to give my GMAT sometime later this year or early next year.

A brief sketch of my profile is as below:

X - 85%, XII - 87%

Graduation - B.Com (Accounting and Finance), IGNOU, 64%

Professional Qualification - Pursuing Chartered Accountancy (1 group of CA Final stage left; I'll be sitting these 4 papers in November this year).

Experience - 4+ years. While not going into too much details, I'd like to say that my experience has been across a wide range of industries and two core specializations. My field of interest is Internal Audit and it is my wish to continue in Internal Audit post my MBA. I presently work as a Systems and Process auditor, after having spent 2 years in core / mainstream assurance.

References - Good.

Extra Curriculars - Writing (Tried my hand at writing a novel 😁 ).

___________________________________________

I would like to try at the top UK Business schools. I am not that keen on US based schools but have no qualms about applying there should I have to.

I would like to know how and when I should write my GMAT. I took a mock GMAT at Manhattan GMAT without any preparation (because I had no clue about the exam, I wanted to 'taste' the severity of the exam) and scored 620 (Q43, V32). While this is indeed meagre, I am honestly surprised at my ability to score this much :D. I would like to go for a higher band (700+) and would welcome suggestions on how I should start studying.

I live in the Thiruvanmiyur area and would like to catch up with other aspirants. I haven't decided on coaching yet - so any good books I can grab?

Thanks and looking forward to replies.

Best
Viv
