I successfully screwed up the one month grace period I had given to myself for GMAT preparation, let's summarize what I have done to improve my score in this time period. Virtually nothing! Except for several blog posts which may have improved my writing by very little bit, I have taken a single diagnostic test..
Starting tomorrow I am going to seriously prepare for the exam. Take another practice test next morning and post the results here, and every day to at least 50 tasks!
To go over Veritas Prep books I have gathering dust for the last 3 months. Yes, only doing stuff, and doing stuff actively will help reach the right score!
Bon voyage, ma cherie !! that's what she said

Dreaming in GMAT
I have read the book "Dreaming in Code" a while ago, since it was relevant to my job and profession, not a great book except for the title. I need more "Dreaming in GMAT"...
Need more focus, need more time...
Why does the day have only 24 hours? Not really a good place to discuss the unfairness of the daylight time breakdown.. Time to sleep!

Gmat dreams
This morning I had the most weird dream. Dreaming about Gmat is not new, as well as dreaming about console interface, various software programs. But I woke up in hysterically -- the dream was the my score for the second take on GMAT was 559 points.. I first thought that that was a good score, then realized what is was like (52 percentile) and jumped up from the bed.
Posting the dream in the blog so that it never comes true.
Off to work!

Gmat 2.0 - Practice test #1
I did manage to do my first practice test for gmat 2.0.
The total score of 580
Breakdown:
Quantitative = 42
Verbal = 26
Did manage to write the essays as well. I am not going to post those in the blog for now:) Ok score is bad, but I have a justification this time (doesn't everybody always have those..) I thought the time left was average time left for the questions to come. Seeing 0.27 assumed that was 27 seconds per question. So was done -20 minute in math, and -10 in verbal.
Overall the score is sucking but can be improved a lot. Wooohoo, did the first test.

Gmat 2.0
First of all there has been a 7-8 month gap since my last blog post. The fact that I didn't post my test score assumed I guess that I was not very satisfied with the results.. Well, truthfully speaking I was very unsatisfied with a total of 570 = 48 Math (82% percentile), 19 English (around 19% percentile) 5.0 essay score (55% percentile), I guess my best bet would have been Eastern Michigan University, or UM-Flint. Don't get me wrong those are fine schools, just I am aiming high. In order for me to have a sufficient reason to leave a totally fine job, and lifestyle and get a great deal of uncertainty that school should be good. Hopefully in top 5 or 10.
So, this months I made another weak try to try studying for GMAT buy signing up for an online course of several weeks, since I didn't set the test date and left for the winter holidays to Armenia, I never set the date, therefore I never really study hard enough, now, just last week set the date for my GMAT 2.0.
The date for my test in 03/26/2011.
And I am planning to devote enough time to the project to success this time!
The goal is 700. Watch me reach it!) Support me in reaching it.
Tomorrow, actually today already 02/06/2011 I will take my first test of now, and publish the results. Good luck myself. Hurray hurray hurray
