Nothing is guaranteed, but OG is certainly a great book to prep with! Best of luck!

Hey Eric... u have done an excellent job...and this isn't the 1st time..i am saying this to u... but on a second thought...i was just thinking...now ETS doesn't handle GMAT exam..so i had a query...is the pattern and the exam same as it use to be under ETS.. i mean..same type of questions..like u said... "on my actual GMAT many of the quant problems were virtual replicas of problems I saw in OG."

It would be great, if u could throw some light on it... thanks...

You mention the "hard/medium" bin of questions in OG 10. I didn't notice anything like this in OG 11 -- is there an equivalent? Or is it safe to assume that the last 100 questions in each section are the most difficult?

Dear Eric,
Many Thanks to you for blogging! I have been preparing for my GMAT exam but hadn't been able to focus clearly all this while. Today I went over your post again ( I had read some of it earliar, but didn't read it all Sad ) I am not only quite impressed, but also feel encouraged & more confident now. I am beginning to get an idea of how to go about it. Uptil now I was kind of running form pillar to post..but now I won't. Hoping to write back again with a commendable score!!
Thanks Again!
A
