Well Moved on in Life? Now GMAT :)

Wow!

Hip Hip Hurray. Its been two to three days now that I am very much interested and kinda looks like committed to GMAT as my main GOAL .. ofcourse MBA abroad yaar!

Its been from a longtime now that a feeling of getting a graduation/post graduation from Top Notch University is getting into me too much. I just love it and that feeling. . .

Well well well . . its too far. let me just take it step by step.

First things first !!!

I saw fantastic GMAT blogs from 2-3 days as I said. I am sure MBA Demon is back and with a Bang this time.. .

I dont have lot of time to write how actually I decided this, however I will not miss out on basic things which i need to concentrate on.

1. GMAT Date
2. All the books required for GMAT. Ah! those new books and again the feeling of getting into mood of studying and excelling!

ok. Now time to list down the books

  • The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition
  • Kaplan GMAT, 2007 Edition: Premier Program (Kaplan Gmat (Book & CD-Rom))
  • Sentence Correction GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan Gmat Prep)
These books are a must. The OG is a must. I have told this several times that doing and redoing the OG is the key.

The Kaplan Gmat book will help you know the question type better. It has good theory and will give you a solid background in all the sections.

The Sc part is not very good in this book. So you will need a special SC book. No book does it better than the Manhattan SC. My acuracy in SC improved drastically.

I cannot imagine my gmat prep without these books.

I am feeling ki i need to work on the verbal/quant section??

Okay! You can get these books:
  • The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review
  • The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review
  • Kaplan GMAT Verbal Workbook
  • Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook
A must must buy for people aiming for somewhere around 750...anyone aiming above than 700 should do this book. And I am very sure that this book will improve your score by 20-30 points if you follow this book well. No surprises here!!

"Kaplan GMAT 800 2008-2009"

or the test materials:

GMAT prep...free to download
Kaplan cd...comes with the book
Apart from that paper tests...both power prep ones and kaplan ones.
And if you get timeyou can always help yourself with some tests there on the web.
But I really dont think you need to spend extra bucks for taking practice tests.


Ok bye, will keep you all posted .

Too early to say anything.

Confidence and Happiness

Only my work can give me confidence. And from that confidence comes happiness.

Only when I Love my work, will I work.

As steve jobs said, like all relationships, it only gets better when u find the work which you love.

now get back to work!!

Once we focus our mind to the target, then our mind will automatically work towards that. Self discipline and oraginsation would solve 80% of the our problems in life.

So Love your work, Be organized, Be desciplined.

because I want to see myself to be doingmy work to the best of my abilities.

Come on find out what do you like anyways .. . Dont settle.

I admire my Manager

To Date I had a different perspective about managers ...

My manager (Vivek) is Amazing Dude. I am surprised to see such a person with so much of patience, for-employee attutude and what not!

Seriously I beleive that whatever happens, happens for Good. I am lucky enough to work for my manager. Awesome human being. Feels like giving even more than what I can deliver.

New Beginning

Last weekend did some good to me in terms of exercises, yes gym ofcourse! . I wanted to come back to my best form. Trying everyday to get to that.

Even in work life, I wanted to hit my best form. Seems like I am hurt. I really cant take these emotions yaar!. I wish I want to be Vikas who is free from the baggage of emotions. It has disturbed me a lot even before.

I am realising how much of distraction and destruction it can bring you. It takes a toll on me and a lot of good energy is sapped. Very soon I would see a day where I am feeling very comfortable with myself and not be affected by anything else. He He :) Way to Go..

It was Monday morning and I was all set in my mind to restart my life with more positive perspective especially work related. I have created an excel sheet with all the task needs to be completed. I just want to have a go at my work and just finish it off. Lets see what happens.

Redefining Myself

Finally I continue writing new posts with an intention to never quit!.

Whatever I started , i forget the same thing in the double speed (dont curse me, but i have on started zillion things) .. Ha! How sad! .. I guess I do things only when it is being forced upon me rather take an initiative from my side :) ..

I will make use of this oppurtunity to keep track of my progress and also improve my outdated writing skills :)
