Oh the things I knew not

I don't know what the heck I was thinking when I took the GMAT the last time. I thought I was studying or refreshing my fundamentals by doing practice tests, but there's so much I seem to have forgotten since my high school/college freshman days.

I'm 4 weeks into the process and yet to take a practice test this time around. But reviewing the fundamentals seems to be working to some degree. I seem to be getting it now. But, on average, just taking a little too long to answer groups of questions.

Also, I am so glad that I didn't bite on HBS and Tuck invitations to apply with my five hundred some GMAT. I'm certain that I would have got Ding letters with footnotes like "what kind of moron are you?" or "are you sure you graduated College?".

Thanks for the vote of confidence, JD. Good luck with the GMAT, and remember that the practice tests from companies like Kaplan are significantly tougher than the real ones. I suggest using the free mba.com test software for a real benchmark of where you stand.

Prep's going well. G-day's the week before christmas. It's an all or nothing approach this time around. The apps are nearly completed. Essays pretty much done. It'll be golden if I hit 700+; not so if I don't. Reality TV's got nothing on me!!!
