Helpful GMAT Books


As I look forward to my GMAT this year I have understood one thing for sure that I cannot afford to drop my guard down. I have been nurturing the dream of getting into one of the prestigious B-schools for a long time now. By doing an MBA from this prestigious institution would provide me a good foundation to structure my career around. GMAT scores are factored in the most while deciding on the candidature of a B-school aspirant. The GMAT perfect score (maximum possible) is 800 and my goal would be to get as close as possible to this magic figure to safeguard my aspirations.

I have jotted down my GMAT prep in black and white which largely revolves around popular GMAT books for reference study. I have been recommended the following GMAT books:

Ways of the GMAT winners

Math Question Bank for GMAT winners (e-book)

Winners Guide to GMAT Reading Comprehension

Winners Guide to GMAT Critical Reasoning

The Winners guide to GMAT Math – Part I and II


I have started consulting these books on a frequent basis now and they are helping me a lot towards my GMAT prep. Guys just pray for me that I score high when I take my GMAT.

GMAT


“Pandemonium is not what should define GMAT. Focus, eye for detail and application should be the keywords if you are to achieve the pinnacle of GMAT and get yourself an unmatched top score which leaves you a thousand doors opening for a great education.”

This is exactly what I told to myself when I first took the GMAT test and aced it in the process by scoring a phenomenal 780 out of the maximum possible 800. I was ecstatic when I achieved such a great score and decided then and there that I would leave no stone unturned in sharing my experiences with the many of you upcoming GMAT champions who are aiming to grab the best of the GMAT scores. The road is no doubt tough but as it is said: When the Going gets Tough, the Tough gets Going.

One final GMAT tip before I conclude: If you came here looking for shortcuts let me tell you “There Are None”. All the best and I hope you all get excellent GMAT scores.
