Hi all - i been preparing for this for few months and scheduled to give it next weeks, i see most of the tips reg study material is given, i can surely help on other stuff ... for a start visit kaplan website and mba.com, u'll get loads of info ... also, there a free full length gmat test (timed) on kaplan and also 2 free full length gmat test on mba.com once u sign up as member (which is free). i suggest make use of these towards the end jus before u sit for the test ... yeah and most imp .. gmat is jus a score to evaluate ur quantitative skills so u can handle the rigor of the program .. they want a more rounded candidate with right kind of backgorund, demonstrated leadership quality, with a vision like wht u intend to do with ur mba, how ur past exp is going to complement it and stuff ... all these stories need take a lot of time and introspection and infact u may find it harder to come up with a story on this than prepare for the test. for eg - (from a columbia b-school grad) - admission committee wud rather give more pref to a guy who has exp of setting up his own company then someone whos worked for 6 yrs in an investment bank ... so the point is get ur story right ... start introspecting good luck all
