Things have moved rapidly around me but i intend to stay at the same place where i was before. For the starters i kept myself away from blogging for all these days. Spent a nice vacation back home for two weeks and postponed by GMAT exam till later this year. So was bit relaxed for the next two weeks back in Bangalore. I have decided not to apply for 2009 so thats the reason for postponing my GMAT. It might sound too clichéd but I am seriously in need of a profile booster in the coming year to be anywhere near success for MBA apps.
I am searching for a Job in the Mechanical Engineering Industry apart from wailing my time in day trading at the Indian bourses. So if any body have any kind of openings which requires Design Engineering experience from a well known construction equipment manufacturing company anywhere in the world, Please feel free to contact me. Have delved myself into sports big time. Also trying to hone my French Language skills again.
Coming back to my GMAT prep which i restarted today, It was quite a breezer. Started with Kaplan 800 since i feel quite comfortable with those level of questions. Did the first two sections of Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction. Actually liked the way they have complied all the required information about SC. I am thinking of compiling all the methods and strategies they have used for my future use and probably will load them n this blog for others to use. I am extremely weak at grammar which only adds to my woes for SC but I guess with lots of practice i can unlearn what i am learned in my school.

I wrote the GMAT last month. I had almost made up my mind to quit my job before the test, but I managed to stick with a regular study plan and get a good score.
I have decided to not write the cat this year and I’m having second thoughts about MBA itself. I have written about it here http://cleverdoll.com/2008/09/cat-to-write-or-not-to-write/
Good luck with your gmat prep.
Found my way over here from the Clear Admit blog…
A word to the wise about the GMAT 800 book — it’s pretty good, especially for quant, but it really goes into questionable territory on sentence correction and some of the other verbal sections. I’m very good at grammar and got a 99th percentile score on the GMAT, and there were a lot of questions (maybe a third of them) that I thought were ambiguous and did not have a single right answer in the GMAT 800 book. The Official Guide from GMAC is probably better for studying for the more “subjective” parts of the test, because the real GMAT questions stay in safer territory, where there is only one right answer.
I think it’s just that you can only make sentence correction questions so hard before they become truly subjective. (I.e., one style choice being better than another.)
Anyhow, just thought I’d warn you! I started getting very nervous using the GMAT 800 book for verbal until I bought the OG and saw a bigger selection of real questions.
