FAQ IN GMAT

Q1. esp. sir I want to start my preparation for GMAT but I dont have any authentic source for that and I also have to do job so please guide me about that and share all the relevant information that u can. I'll be very thankful to u thanking u

A1.There is a lot of material available online. KAPLAN, The Princeton Review , GMAT Prep(mba.com), Power prep etc are some of the good ones.But I suggest Kaplan is one of the Best. I suggest you do as many practice test from them as possible. For more information refer to http://www.thechopras.co.in/gmat.php . You can also join a coaching place, The Chopras Consultants is recommended.

Q2.I've posted before. I am too young for an MBA. I should wait for a year or two Now I am planning to apply for a business-related MS MSC or MA In the US or in UK My GPA is low Would a high GMAT help me compensate it? I dont think these schools require a GMAT.

A2. Yes a good GMAt score will definitely help. Besides scores, GPA, your SOPs, LORs, Resume and work experience also make a difference. I think you should concentrate on your positives and try for a good GMAT score. Refer to http://www.thechopras.co.in/Kaplan_home.php for details.

Q3.I have a Masters in Engineering, now, at 26, after working a couple of years I will likely be going to the University of Britsh Colmbia to do. a MSc in Finance (I got interested in it, when i took a derivatives course in grad school, and scored 750 on the GMAT). Also, the prof I have spoken to at the university is strongly encouraging me to do a PhD afterward...I might like to do so, the only thing really holding me back is my age, and the fact that a PhD takes 5 years (seems sort of ridiculus) . Anyone have any advice on doing a PhD? If you get a PhD from a top 5 university how hard is it to get a good academic position (not at a community college or equivalent)? Are there any other positions PhD's regularly get? I assume the situation for Canada and the USA would be similar. How much do starting profs get paid in canada and the US?

A3.Go for MS- PhD program as it is easier to get admission and financial aid this way. If along the way you dont want to do a PhD, you can always drop out after completing the MS program. PhD's can start their tenure as Assistant Professors and go on from there. Research options at top companies are also available. Refer to http://www.thechopras.co.in/Global.php for more info

Q4.proud Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 4 horazmli just joined TestMagic. Question gmat score Hi everybody. Has anyone know if an University can ask score of mine from Pearson Vue itself, if I send only scan copy of my gmat certificate to the University (this University does not have institutional code)?

A4.The format is that you must send your scores to the colleges by asking Pearson to do so, by paying them a fee. You can not send your scores directly, colleges wont accept it. For details refer to http://www.thechopras.co.in/university_visit1.php?compid=947&name=Delhi&flag=univ

A5..Its an OK score and with good academic record, SOP, LORs etc he should manage to get in a few good colleges in the BAY area. For a list you can refer to http://www.thechopras.co.in/gre.php

Q6..Hi,I am new to this site. I am planning to give GMAT in the next 4 months. Can you suggest a good book for GMAT for preparation especially maths.There are many versions of Princeton as well as kaplan. Which to choose?Also is there any website where I can give mock GMAT tests where the charge is not very high.

A6. Both are good. You can get an idea of the Kaplan material at http://www.thechopras.co.in/Kaplan_home.php - and GMAt tests are also availale at http://www.manyagroup.com

Q7.GMAT on 28 Aug - please advise .. Friends, I have scheduled my GMAT for the 2nd attempt on 28th Aug. With exactly a month to go, I have started to take full length practise tests.But I am not performing good and need your advise.I would appreciate if you can spare sometime to read the below. A week ago - Manhattan GMAT test 1 - 550 (V-31;Q-32 pathetic) Today - Manhattan GMAT test 2 - 620 (V-33,Q-42) Today's test experience : Quans - It was really tough , I would say way beyond the GMAT standars by all means.It took me 44 min. for the 1st 15 qns. with just 12/15 correct in it. Verbal - RC was the spoiler (just 3/12 correct); SCs and CRs were of moderate difficulty level.Infact RCs were also not tough, but I screwed it up. Advise / suggesstions needed for Verbal: 1.With just a month to go for the test, can some one pls. let me know of any successful RC strategies ? 2.I follow the below verbal time split. Qns 1 - 15 : 30 - 31 min. Qns 16 - 30 : 28 min. Qns 31 - 41 : 16 min. Can some one please let me know if any other better strategy could be followed.I am aiming for a good hit rate in the 1st 30 qns. 3.Also the last RC falls between 31 - 41 qns. and I really lose the contest here. I just glance the RC for less than a min. and answer the qns. Most of the time I get 4/4 wrong - . Any better strategy could be followed for the last 11 ques. ? As far as quans. is concerned, I think I need to practise a lot. For the next 1 month, I plan to use the following resources for preps.: 1.OG 11 2.GMAT ETS paper tests 3.GMAT Sets(to gauge my verbal performance) 4.1000 RC for Verbal 5.Last but not least TM forum Please provide your suggestions. With some poor performances so far, I need to really work out some success strategies. Please advise. Thanks for showing patience to read this message, Arun B

A9.Hey, yes you can apply as GMAT scores are valid for 5 years. Scores for GMAT are usualy averaged. It depends on you, how much you know and what is your potential. You should decide on your own. I would say you join a coaching because it will help to be in an environment where everyone has a common goal. I suggest you join The Princeton review, they have good coaching institutes all over India. Please refer to http://www.thechopras.co.in/gmat.php
