OK Guys,

Taking that everyone who has responded 'I wanna join' in the recent posts are ready enough to row the boat, we take a step forward - discuss the prep strategy.

I'm planning to begin with verbal using OG. To be specific - only RC and CR.

Raising thumbs up for those who are ready for this..

Hi all,

I am arun titto. Presently I am employed with TCS. My total work experience is 3.5 yrs. I am planning to take GMAT in may.

Can any one suggest the imp. cycles of applying to colleges ( india and abroad). I got an information that ISB first cycle is between july-sept. So my presumption is that we have to take the test before june if ISB is under our purview. Similarly there may be other imp. dates also which I am not sure.

What say blokes ?

A quick couple of questions to apache...

1. "i personallly felt tat 4GMAT is not up to the standards!!"... what standards are you taking about?? Are you comparing 4GMAT with Manhattan GMAT, Kaplan, Princeton, Veritas etc?? In that case, have you taken classes with these prep companies???

2. I took the class with Princeton the first time- spent 20K.... scored 560. Now studying with 4GMAT. My score in GPREP 1 is 770. I am now confident of hitting 700+ in the GMAT, thanks to 4GMAT. DO you think high course fees translates to better course content???

The personal attention I get here is too good. The tutors know their stuff. Having taken classes from two prep companies, , I think I have the right to say that 4GMAT is way way better. Their price is competitive/low - that doesn't mean their quality is...

My strong advice to prospective test-takers is to go to the centers and check out the place.. do not get carried away by opinions - including mine.

HI All,
Good to see a forum for Chennai GMAT takers. I have planned for GMAT within Sep 2009, in fact i would want to book dates only when i am fully prepared for the test. Folks looking to share materials, questions, doubts are most welcome. : I aint against coaching centers but i prefer studying on my own. But, if you feel coaching centers would assist you better, go ahead. There are successful and unsuccessful stories too. Finally, depends on how you perform on D day. :-P
