A promise is a promise, so here you go, my second straight casual look. This may be an all-time record. Go me. Some days jeans and a t-shirt are what the doctor ordered. Altough, I think my doc forgot to mention NOT to wear those jeans with the pesky buttons on the back pockets. 8 hours later and my bottom was sort of sore. TMI? Sorry. But it’s the effing truth. Note to self, don’t wear these jeans on test day.


Speaking of, a few of you asked when is test day. Don’t think I was ignoring you. I just hadn’t scheduled it yet. But that’s no more. D-Day, I mean Test Day, is April 23rd. $250 later and I wonder if I should’ve just gone shopping at Anthro instead? Nothing like spending a little bit of money to make me get a WHOLE HECK OF A LOT MORE serious about this thing. Please excuse me while I go googling for the following: GMAT tricks, prayers to say prior to taking the GMAT, what’s the best letter to guess when you can’t answer a GMAT question and so on.

Pin It!

  2. I haven't taken the GMAT, only the GRE. Are there a lot of business related questions or is it more general knowledge? For the GRE, I just brushed up on my math. I'm not even sure what I made, but it was good enough that they let me in to grad school.

  3. Not necesarily business related questions - but business stories and reasoning show up in the reading comprehension and critical reasoning. I've been doing pretty well on the verbal sections so I'm focusing on math. Funny thing is, I thought it would be the other way around.

  4. I love your shirt.

    If it makes you feel any better, I have to take FIVE tests. 'Cause I'm gonna be a teacher. With three, possibly four, certifications.

  5. Good luck x 100. I had to take the GRE and a GRE subject test in English Literature. They were both brutal, but I ended up doing really well. I think the key is taking as many practice exams as you can so that you get the feel for what it's like to apply your knowledge in that setting. It's like practicing for a marathon: you don't just run wind sprints and call yourself done.

  6. Very cute casual look, sorry about the butt hurt. Hey I'm sending you all the good test vibes I can muster this month. I don't know anything about the GMAT at all but I can tell you that studying GRE books like mad really worked out for me. My whole exam was practically lifted straight out of the Princeton Review book. Crossing my fingers it's the same for you!!

  7. I was so close to buying those shoes (in yellow) from Target the other day. I didn't think they looked cute on me, but seeing them on you is inspiring me to have another look.

    Good luck on the GMATs!

  11. I love your casual wear look- especially those red shoes!! This isn't a style related question.. but I've been wondering where you got the box-y bookshelf you're standing next to? I'm moving soon and would love something like that for my new place!

  17. Love your analogy - you're totally right. I'm doing my best to study for about an hour everyday. Except tonight. I'm giving myself an off night to indulge in Elizabeth Taylor movies :)

  19. These are from last year - but I saw the new ones and truth be told I think they're a bit cuter and most importantly MORE comfortable.
