GRE words are a nightmare.I am still struggling with the Barron's frequent word list.
Even learning these 333 words are messing my head.Hats off to those people who can really mug up all the 3500 words.I gave the Kaplan test a few days back got 740 in Quantitative section and 390 In verbal so total score of 1130.
I am aiming for a 1300+ score lets see how much I get.Ill be mostly taking the exam on 25th march :).Will post some updates soon enough.

Aim 1: Loosing Weight
It has been 2 weeks of my trying to loose weight and the only thing i could manage was a 0.5 kg loss.Yup my current weight is 95.5kgs :(.I have changed my morning walk routine to swimming in evening(courtesy my morning blues).I have started swimming from
Tuesday to Saturday.With a brief stint of yoga in morning.I have ordered a weighing
scale online so that i can track my weight daily :).Will upload any progress in few days. :)

Aim 3: Gre Exam
Today and Tomorrow are my rest days.I am not studying or doing anything that even remotely resembles studying.From Wednesday will start preparing for GRE after giving KAPLAN'S mock GRE test.
Aim 2:Giving the MH-CET MBA exam on 15th Feb
Yesterday i gave my MH-CET exam.Cant really say that it went well.I could hardly solve 100 questions and rest all were just random guesses.So i Believe my marks will be in the range 70-110. So no Jamnalal Bajaj or any other top rated college for me.
I had a funny incident a day before the exam.I was solving a test paper and I solved around 115 questions out of which around 63 were right(minimum accuracy in any paper) then I got stuck in
one question and had no clue on how to proceed.So I tried checking the solution in the answer sheet and guess what the answer sheet was wrong I was checking the answers from a wrong sheet and was still getting more than 50% correct :).
So I came to a conclusion that if I have to random guess answers then i will not mark them sequentially (like all 3's or all 1's) but instead ill randomly mark each and every question.So I have marked 100 question completely randomly.I know the risks are loosing even the guaranteed 15-20 marks in sequential guessing.But still i decided to take the risk.Now I just hope that I am lucky enough and get a good score :).
Will update my blog whenever I get the results the tentative date is 23rd March.

Aim 1: Loosing Weight
My seven days of general motors diet plan were over a few days ago.I had 5 kgs of overall weight loss with it.I had actually lost 5kgs by the fifth day the last 2 days of the diet plan did not help me in shedding some extra kilos.I gained 1 kg( :( ) within 3 days of the diet plan getting over.But this was bound to happen since after a diet your body goes into a save mode and starts storing food for future calamities(another diet).
Right now my weight is sustained at 96 kgs.Ilost around 5 kgs with the general motors diet plan then gained 1 kg back immediately after the diet.So the net weight loss was of 4 kgs(I am not complaining :) ).
My current weigh loss strategy includes going for a walk every alternate day in Borivali National Park.Jogging for 5 mins(Thats all the stamina i have) daily and doing a little bit of yoga daily.I am going to weigh my self after a week and I just hope the weighing scale gifts me with a lesser weight reading.

Aim 2:Giving the MH-CET MBA exam on 15th Feb
My preparation for MH-CET 15th feb 2009 is still going on .Just one week is left and i still dont see myself getting 99+ percentile.
Searching through forums i found out the following marks to percentile relation of the 2008 MH CET.
Marks Percentile
137 99.36
136 99.28
117 95.53
111 93.25
103 89.07
100 87.16
87 76.13
80 74.48
So I need to get around 135 out of 200 to reach a 99 percentile mark and according to my current self analysis i am not even close enough.
The paper is of 2 and half hour and you have to solve 200 questions.By my speed I am only able to complete 100-120 questions in the stipulated time from which i get around 60-70% correct.Rest 80-100 are guessed randomly by me which results in getting around 15-20 additional correct answer.So i find myself getting around 80-90 marks out of 200.
I cannot increase my speed of solving questions.So what i am planning is that I will not solve those types of questions which i find difficult and would randomly guess them so that i have time to solve more questions.Will experiment with it for one or two days and lets see how it turns out.
