I just Beat The GMAT!

Awesome stuff, Eric!

I advice that Read all the postings who have score more than 700+ , because it will gives u the idea about the schedule and books .

Hi Readers, Wondering if you could help.

Reading comprehension is killing me. I have used Kaplan Verbal and Kaplam 800 and I just can't seem to grasp the material.

I have gone through just one exercise in the OG 11th edition( as I wanted to keep the OG for the very end) and it is nearly not as tough as the Kaplan exercises.

Which book would be a good prep for RC ? Many thanks, ARJ

Use the Manhattan GMAT book for Reading Comprehension. It's the one that covers reading comprehension and critical reasoning. That's the best book i've read on reading comprehension so far. damn good for critical reasoning too.

Hey Sir...I am having my exam on 8th of october..I registered for my exam in July and had all the time in my hand but I wasted all the time with the crawling prep...Solved set of question from OG 10 nd Kaplan...about 60-70 questions of each section except RC... Nd I am so nervous now..should I postpone my exam...I am not sure how to schedule my prep..Please help

You can attempt one gmatprep and see where you stand .
If you close to your target score,its good to continue and take the exam .Also you can retake it anyway.
But If you not close to your target score now.Study for a week and then take the test again.If you get close to target score after a week of prepration .you can go ahead and attempt If not than its wise idea to postpone it .

I have less than month to prepare for GMAT....I have passed the GMAT on 14th of september and my score was low(410)..Quantitive(53percentile)..Verbal(3 percentile)

I need score more than 500. How can I prepare efficiently in 3-4weeks in order to get that score?!...

I have several books for GMAT: Barrons 14th edition, Kaplan800score, Official guide to verbal review, (OG) 7th edition..Which one is more suitable for me?!...


Please help me in this difficult situation...

Hi!

I red your comments and suggestions for GMAT prep.I have few questions for you. I aim for top MBA schools. I have a medical background.No math. I took the GMAT and scored 470...I need to get back and get an above 620 score! I work a lot and have a family. I realized that the biggest problem for me is math, and more specific percents, combinatorics, geometry, probabilities. I am looking for help in math but the private lessons are incredibly expensive! You mentioned the Delta course....could youdevelop a little? Is it a good math preparation? Any other suggestions for math? Your answer would be greatly appreciated.

Eric,

Thank you so much! I just finished up the Kaplan course. During the classroom I knew most of the math questions and would just tear through everything. Finally after the course I took a practice exam and scored a 580...I was devestated as I was sure I would be breaking into the low 6's. I didnt study at all this weekend and have been bummed out beyond belief. I decided to try to read some successs stories and maybe get motivated. Your blurb about Kaplan tests and your scores really gave me the boost I need.

Thanks,
Nick

Thank you for all that useful information!!

I have been studying for the past 2 months, hired a math tutor for 6 sessions and still am missing the mark when I take the practice online cat tests....my test is 2 weeks away. Any suggestions?

about 40-50 points! I struggle with the data suff the most. Would also like to learn a better method for the reading comprehension too!
