13 days to go!!!!

Ok... Its coming three days late, but i have all the reasons to explain...

I am supposed to describe the two tests i took since last Sunday, but before that will just like to write a few lines on the things that are distracting me from my GMAT preps... :)

1. ATG: This is the new app server on which i am supposed to work for my new project. Dont know whether its actually difficult to get a hang of it, or it is because of my 1 year old ATGphobia - but one thing is for sure... ATG is bugging me like hell... I spent the entire Monday and Tuesday, trying to install ATG and few other accessories... Took help from N number of people and at the end of Tuesday, the conclusion was that i needed to change my machine.... Got a new machine today, which no doubt is a lot advanced than the original one, but is still NEW... The boring task of dumping everysingle bit of data from your old system to the new one than started... It is 5:15 at the moment, i have successfully installed ATG and the new application and have also moved the data from my older machine to the new one, with only songs folder remaining now... ;) The actual work of going through the usecase and starting with the coding (hopefully) will start tomorrow.....

2. FIFA world cup: Just felt yesterday that i should have been taking the GMAT a week earlier than i am actually taking... Brazil playing its first match against Croatia, and i had to sleep so that i could get up early and study a bit, which actually never took place!!! :) Got a very tight scolding for not getting up!! :(

3. Food: The randomness is at its peak in this area of distraction... Just cant go to those costly restuarants every night for dinner!! Once the G is over, i will make it a point to have my dinner in office or somewhere on the way to home...

Well, actually these are just the excuses that i am trying to convince myself... and you know that, right? Haven't studied much this week and that is probably frustrating me...

Forget this crap, let's come to the point...

Sunday 11th June: Took 800score.com's test 4... Very interesting and confidence boosting...
Good accuracy in quant and sober one in verbal... 4 wrong in quant and 11 in verbal..... Scaled score: Q:50, V:38 ----> Total:680... Again... would have sailed above 700, had it been GMATprep... Just keeping my fingers crossed...

Tuesday 13th June: Was seriously in no mood to do GMAT 800.. dont know why? So started with ETS test 31... And put up my best performance in quant... 52 of 52 correct!!!! Verbal was ok with 41 of 56 correct... The questions were actaully very very very very easy in quant and that helped me to this accuracy.. No doubts i have been making stupid mistakes with easy questions as well, and so gettting all correct this time was very boosting... Keeping my fingers crossed again....

Its 14th today and i have 13 more days to go... The 13th day from now will decide many things!! Work hard, righty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck...and remember to take a day or two off from studying just before your exam to make sure you are good and rested when you take the real test.
