Mighty Pissed

I am FUMING right now.


Three days since I touched my GMAT books. I finally sit with focus and determination to take the DS section head-on and end up with 11 of 37 questions wrong. Yeah 30 freaking percentatge error. Screw me.


DS has been a pain since I first took the Diagnostic test. I was below average in that. So I've always kind of been wary of DS and so was brushing up on quant fundamentals for the past few days so that I could tackle the problems better.


It did not pay off.


I did feel more comfortable solving the probelms as I hit upon the AD/BCE method but am terribly disappointed and angry with myself that I let 11 damn problems go wrong. I looked at all of them and seems that I was in too much of a hurry or just over-analyzed the problems and ended up getting them wrong. God, I hate myself right now.


Maybe, its the fact that I am wary of DS that I kind of go overboard and screw up. Hell, that cant't be tha case as I pretty much screw up across all the sections. Seems like I need to be more smart to solve these. Need to focus and remain patient while solving the problems, yet have a dose of common-sense ready, so that I do not commit silly mistakes. I cannot afford to get a 30% failure rate in DS. No way. Not in a section where I don't even have to solve the damn problem. No freaking way.


In other news, I looked up the Tata-McGraw Hill GMAT book. It seems a good buy at Rs. 450(it comes with 6 prep tests). There are plenty of tips for each section. Think I'll but that. Atleast for the 6 tests.


Bambi gave me the NOVA's GMAT book. Still need to look at it. Wanted to look at the Kaplan Comprehensive or the Manhattan GMAT. Can't believe the two major book shops didn't have it. Need to locate the two. May be will buy one.


And yeah, I did make a time-table, but not very detailed. But after today's DS debacle, I guess I have to chalk out a detailed plan. 46 days to go and hell there is so much to study.


Will take a break now. Phew!


Current Mood: Calming down.....


PS: I'm sorry Bambi I was rude to you. I was really angry with myself and should not have taken that out on you. I am really sorry :(
