I am blogging now in the middle of the day, as a break between my gmat preparation. I took the diaganostic test from OGR,11th edition and scored 40 out of 48 maths questions and 34 out of 52 verbal questions. The results reflected my performance as excellent in maths and average in verbal.
I took my first full lenght test today, online from pricenton review.com. My score is little above average, i.e. 550 out of 800. I hope my performances will definitely improve to 650 with practise on sample questions from different books and more full lenght tests. But the amount of hardwork i put in in the next 2 months will decide whether i can get more than 700.
Reviewing today's full lenght tests, I have to admit that i need to take more full lenght tests, inorder to get my concetration for a longtime that the test needs. Also i have to be more cautious while answering the initial questions. I realised that a slightest of error in the beginning will cost more. Though i got 32 questions correct in maths, i made 3 errors in the first 15 questions which resulted in a poor total score.
On verbal, i better make no comments as there were 4 incorrect answers among the first 10 questions. On the whole i could get only 22 questions correct on the verbal. Of the 19 incorrect answers, 17 were among the first 29 questions. I feel that due to the fear of running of time, I hurried in the initial questions.
Its very clear that I have to concentrate more on verbal compared to maths. I will start working on the sample questions from verbal section in the OGR,11th edition today. After completing these questions, I will take another full lenght test and review my performance.
Hope I will be back in this page after my next full lenght test with a better verbal score.

Day 9 to 16 - 30Jun to 7July
Its better to mention the last 7 days as a lean phase in my study period as I did not spend more time for GMAT. Though I cite some valid reasons like late working hours and sickness for this lean phase, I feel that I could have utilised the time more efficiently. However I will describe the activities that was carried out in the last week.
I have completed all the sample questions (bins) in the PR book. There were 4 bins in Maths and 3 bins in Verbal. My scores on the maths bins in the order of increasing difficulty are 24,20,19 and 18 out of 26, respectively. I am confident that this will increase with more practise during the coming days. On the other hand, my verbal scores suggest that I have to work vvery hard on my English. The scores in the order of difficulty are 21/25,17/27 and 12/26.
The comments of different GMAT high scorers is that the questions on PR are not difficult when compared to the difficult questions on actual GMAT and the OGR. Considering their comments, I am well behind an average score in verbal. With more books on the way, I have to complete the sample questions OGR 11th edition by sunday apart from a full length computer test.
