Ok, FYI from now on, most of my blog will be focused on my GMAT Prep for me getting a 700+ Score. So, that my dreams of going to Bschool are realized. Well, after my first attempt at just sitting for the test last year without any preparation, I decided to take some time to reassess. I really bombed my first test. I felt so bad afterwards, but honestly, in retrospect, I had no reason to feel that bad. I was being tested on concepts I have not used since high school! And, the last time, I used an kind of algebra was my sophomore year in college in 1999, which was 10 Yrs Ago! Lol! If I had taken this test right out of undergrad, when the concepts were halfway fresh, I would have done stellar. Now, I would have needed a prep course for it, but that is neither here nor there. I am here, now. So, I took my first test April 2nd 2009. I will share my score once I have mastered the Gmat and have a 700+. Then, on April 15th I went a GMAT Prep Session in here in Charlotte sponsored by Wake Forest University. And, from there I bought the OG Quant Supplemental and attempted to study, but was overwhelmed by the intense difficulty if the guide. So, I resorted to checking out books from the library to try to get a feel for a strategy to approach the test. I used The Princeton Review all summer, but was hardly disciplined enough to really get results. At the time, I was a Single Stay At Home Mom of a 10 Mth old, so a lot of my mental energy was dispersed in several different ways. I keep the PR book and just went through it when I had time to learn basic concepts. I took notes. And, now looking at those notes a year later, I have already put a plan together for me to follow and study. I just need to follow it. I am finally mentally ready & have lots of PMA to get me through those moments where I feel like I can’t make it! I spent tons of time second guessing myself, doubting myself and one day I realized that I was wasting my precious time. And, that doubting myself wasn’t making me accomplish my goal any faster. Best of Luck to myself & everyone else going through the journey also!
As always….Be Luv, Rashida
