Ursula's Debriefing
The following is a legendary debriefing by a GMAT forum user named "Ursula," who scored a 760 on the GMAT. Her post is the reason why I became inspired to study for the GMAT on my own and create Beat The GMAT!
Ursula developed a simple and methodical study strategy--truly a beautiful thing.

Thank you so much for your game plan! It really helps me out a lot.
Great post ursula....got my spirits high!!
Wow Ursula, what an accomplishment. I would like to take the test in a month and a half and lets just say that the PowerPrep test that I took (my first one) was a few hundred points less than yours. I have been studying for about a month now and looking to go atleast in the 600 range. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hey Ursa,
Fantastic! Well done.
I scored 650 in my first attempt purely due to the psychological meltdown in the quant section. I had been scoring in the range 710-750 during the practice tests.
Your blog has certainly given me an additional push. I am planning to give a second attempt in April '08. Aiming for 760!
Thanks for your post and sharing your test strategy. Your post really moved me. I am a 31 year woman trying to go back to school.
All the best and thanks again!
great post Ursula ! specially the psychological meltdown

Hi Ursula,
I am originally from Germany, too, but I have lived in the States and in Southeast Asia for almost seven years.
You are referencing to the KAPLAN materials -- have you exchanged any experience with test takers who exclusively focused on the Official GMAT Test BOOKS and the MANHATTAN GMAT PREP Books?
I plan to study for about 12 - 16 weeks due to my extremely weak Math skills, and after your dedicated post I am quite excited to start. :-)
Alles Gute!
Sven
