One of my friends had a and was summarily rejected from each of the top 10 bschools. He applied the following year, after changing up his work experience, and got accepted into a top 5 school. Keep perspective on the big picture. Thanks for the information. I just recently started studying for this.
I'm also a CFA , and initially approached it with that same studying mindset. This animal is definitely different, but I'm very glad it's not at all like the CFA. My verbal is at 30 and needs solid improvement. In Australia our english is very colloquial and poor by the UK's standards not sure about America , so i've had to re-learn and unlearn some dirty e-mail habits for sentence correction.
I digress. What would be the most effective tool or mechanism you used to jack up your score from the earlier time in your prep of testing the waters to the latter time of a trialed and tested improvement technique? What was your verbal score like? Did you prepare at all for the verbal section? If so, do you mind sharing what you did? If you got a , I'm guessing you got a V45 or V46, which is more like 99th percentile. Got a 47 on Verbal 99th percentile when I got the Prior exams ranged from 94th percentile to 98th percentile.
So I did hit the high end of my range on Verbal on my last exam. Frankly I don't think my Verbal necessarily "improved" across exams. Moving from a 41 to a 47 honestly is probably like questions max.
If you can hit 41 Verbal no problem then I would concentrate on Quant and then over the course of taking practice exams see if there is a particular type of question or error on Verbal that is tripping you up and fix it.
This is fantastic. As someone who will likely take my first stab at the gmat this year, I can't thank you enough. Thanks a ton for this!!! Looking to apply in years but trying to knock the test out the way this year.
Where did you end up going to b school? I find quant section very tough and heard that the actual quant is easier. Thanks for the shout out. I haven't logged in in years and came back bc someone asked me for my guide.
Nice to see this lives on :. I have ADHD and have the medication at home and am undecided on whether to take it or not.

Hi WSO Community- greatly appreciate some thoughts on my situation. My MD has asked me to leave with him to start his own firm.
What's everyone's thoughts? Background: I'm a second year analyst at a specialty boutique. I came to the firm as a mid-career professional after having a background in consulting, tech and a variety of other companies.
I now lead a team of 15 people, I'm making more money t…. Fwiw, I'm a junior banker. I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It's in our DNA. Sure, there is no 'one size fits all' or silver bull…. I want to read the whole story. For analysts who in cities that would require a car like LA , what cars do analysts usually drive?
It's bizarre to me that an incredibly clear cut self-defense case has become politicized to the point that some liberals are siding with a psychotic pedophile and two communist criminals who tried to kill a kid over the civic-minded kid defending himself, but I suppose that's America in Anyone have experience doing IB with a long distance gf?
The firm pays street comp so I should be looking at total compensation in the k range as an AN1. The short version: I am 23 years old and having a hard time deciding whether I should just stay at my current no-name job with 89k salary, hr work weeks or actually try to do something with my life and get a real job with progression.
November Investment Banking. Leaderboard See all. Rank: Neanderthal 2, Detailed error logs of everything. And boom when that flashed on screen. Needed to gain speed in problem recognition and be able to find the solution path quickly. There are some things that I knew OK but took me too much time to get right. Overcalculating Was blindly applying techniques to solve questions, this is a terrible idea.
Unnecessary complications in questions that could be solved much faster not able to see shortcuts. Ability to emulate calculator - not what GMAT tests. Arithmetic Calculation Simple arithmetic errors — dumb mistake ex. Careless mistakes Ensure you pick the right answer choice for DS problems. Need to minimize computation errors. Watch out for unit conversions, "except" problems. Study Strategy, Tips, Etc. Remainders were a sub-topic I saw as important.
Know Coordinate Geometry, they can make these trickier at higher levels. Gotta master fundamentals of Geometry, they also can throw you ridiculous geometry questions at higher levels, maybe a good time to guess that was my strategy.
Though practice can help, the GMAT is all about problem solving and that for many cannot be taught. Master the Foundations Get foundations into your head: memorize times table, geometry formulas, basic arithmetic rules, etc.
Perfect your basic techniques. Know by heart the common percent values, square roots, powers, and fractions — this saves time. The ROI of concentrating on advanced concepts is small unless trying to go from 49 to 51 or the like.
Slow down your work on GMAT questions and focus on building your overall math fundamentals. Knowing problem types is a great, but GMAT ramps up difficulty by execution. These are the kind of skills gained over time through repetitive practice, not by reviewing content in one fell swoop.
Not many people feel that quant problems are predictive, but when you do enough problems they become predictable — you will begin to recognize patterns.
Try to look for the simplest way of solving questions. Follow Bunuel's posts - he often provides very eye opening solutions that are quick and effective. Stay away from the longhand approach. Read the answer explanations of all the questions including the ones you got right and see how the questions writers are thinking will be useful later in the prep process.
Periodically go back to the questions you got wrong, esp the hard mean ones that you did not know how to even approach and make sure you can solve them and know the path to solve them. Do the mistake analysis on the questions! Not enough to just classify mistakes in a pretty error log Comb through your performance. Write a reason for making a mistake - figure out exactly what it is! What did it teach me? Next step is to turn mistake into action item - how to ensure that you never make that mistake again?
Timing When solving questions be very conscious about the time it takes you to answer the questions. It doesn't matter whether you got the answer right if you can't get it right in a timely manner. The most important time is the total and average per question.
Questions are becoming wordy, in OG spend some time observing the trend and styles of questions. What is being asked? Any clues in question ex. DS Determine strategy to solve Have plan for each question type. Any time saving techniques or quicker solutions? Use smart numbers? Plug in answer choices? Solve Minimize careless errors.
Mind your timing. Write neatly. DO NOT waste time on problems you don't know how to solve! Move on to guessing strategies. Strategy Tips General Strategy Tips Balance between speed and accuracy is the key to a higher quant score. Must answer every question, so guess and move on if needed. Avoid guessing 2 questions in a row. Try not to miss too many questions in a row.
Practice consistent scratchwork, and follow that pattern when you take the GMAT. Don't try and interpret question difficulty - ignore the difficulty level of each question Focus on problem at hand — not last question, not what score will be, etc. After reading a question, stop for 5 seconds and instead of fully engaging yourself, take a casual look at it and think if an easier solution exists. DS Problems are not drawn to scale — don't fall in love with the figure!
You have to consider various ways that the angles and shapes could be drawn PS problems drawn to scale unless noted, but make sure to check Don't forget that a definitive "no" answer to a Data Sufficiency question means "sufficient.
More problems can be solved by approximation than you think. When you round up or down, make a note of which way you've adjusted.
The answer choices are a major hint to whether approximation is appropriate. Carrusel anterior. Carrusel siguiente. Bunuel Gmat Ques. Cargado por Akansha Sharma.
