It´s been a week since I last wrote on my blog, so I think it´s time for a second entry.
Things I´ve learned throughout the past week:
-12 years of learning English is not enough to know all the idioms GMAT requires
-Reading Comprehension can be quite tricky
-I was born mastering critical reasoning
-I´m better at maths than at English!
-About 70% of the MBA students are male
-When one of the options of the multiple choice "rings a bell", then it´s not the correct one
-"Practise makes perfect"...and even perfect is not equal to an 800 score in GMAT (lol)
Tuesday is my last class, and the GMAT course I attend will be over. From then on...it´s up to me..
My goal is to score more than 700 at GMAT.
My tactic is to study at least 3 hours a day until the end of October.
My strategy is to learn all the necessary formulas, rules and tips and only then train the rithm, by timing myself and improving it day by day.
Having said so....the words tactic and strategy reminded me of a poem I would like to share with you. It´s in spanish, and I won´t translate it so it keeps its intrinsic beauty.
Táctica y Estrategia
de Mario Benedetti
Mi táctica es mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos.
Mi táctica es hablarte y escucharte
construir con palabras un puente indestructible.
Mi táctica es quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos.
Mi táctica es ser franco y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos simulacros
para que entre los dos no haya telón ni abismos.
Mi estrategia es en cambio más profunda y más simple.
Mi estrategia es que un día cualquiera
no sé cómo ni sé con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites.
Don´t miss your opportunity to listen Mario Benedetti reciting the poem:
