Classes start tonight for my b-school prerequisite courses. First up, Accounting. My initial feeling is that this will be the easiest of the classes I have to take because it's the least hard-math of the three, but we shall see.
I still need to go buy some graph paper and possibly a calculator for Statistics. I'm debating whether I should find a software version to install on my Tungsten C or just buy a standalone. Also still trying to find out exactly what the calculator needs to do so I get the right one.
My GMAT prep is coming along reasonably well. The Kaplan CD and the ETS dowloadable prep package are both very helpful. As expected I need to brush up on my math, but the score for my initial practice test was not as horrible as I feared it would be. Since I'm not gunning for the top-tier schools, I'll be thrilled if I pull a 650 on the actual GMAT, and a 600 would be acceptable. If by some weird miracle I do better than 650 I may revise my plan and try for UC Berkeley or even - gasp - Columbia, but that's pretty unlikely.
One thing I've noticed is that the actual math per se is not always my problem. I've gotten questions wrong several times because I'm not parsing the question correctly. The more I practice, and focus, the better I should get at that.
