I took the test I have left of OG and I am still 60 points below what I need, is it posible to raise 60 points in 6 days????
I have to do it not matter what. Today is Saturday and I have been studing since 10 am (took 2 hrs break to eat, great my husband and play with my daugher) and I am back to study...man! _________________ Isis Alaska |

and that's is exactly what I am doing. I have spent this whole afternoon analizing the answers I failed, and it is sad but Most of them, especially in the math section were stupid mistakes!!!
So, I am happy, somehow that I can understand why I did not answer it correctkly.
It is true about studing smart, I have read enough at this point so now it is time to start analyzing. Stacy is also right, it is like a pianist who keeps playing but playing badly, why? is he/she going to be reayd before the recital?
Thanks!! Tomorrow more  _________________ Isis Alaska |

Good Morning!
Another day less to G-Day. Today I will do a Manhattan test. I love the explanations and also the feedback tells you the level of difficulty of each question. I did some of the SC in teh practice section and I have to admid they are difficult
Then I checked the level of difficulty and no wonder, all the questions were level 600-700, so I guess I fell better... _________________ Isis Alaska |

Greatman
I like Manhattan tests as I said before. For some reason I find I have more time to finish teh questions. Maybe is psychological but I am always running in the quantitative section with OG...who knows...maybe I stressed out too much with OG because I know it is the "real thing". I will tell you what I got todaw in another Manahttan test.  _________________ Isis Alaska |

Ok Greatman I did another Manhattan test and scored 660 I am very happy since this is so far, my highest score. As I mentioned before, I felt very confident timewise, this, I beliebe, makes a HUGE difference.
Yesterday I took a OG one and I only scored 510 , so I don't know what to think. I believe the verbal part is very similar on both methods, however, the quantitative part is more difficult on the OG. Or maybe I am better at taking tests in the afternoon. Yesterday I wanted to emulate the conditions of the real exam. Since my test is going to be next Saturday (17th) at 9 am I took it at the same time. Today I took the Manhattan test at 3 pm, so maybe I am more alert in the afternoon. Too bad since I had no choice in choosing the time of my test. I am a firmly believer on the biorhythms and also the part that diet, plays, etc. That's why one of my firts questions to this forum was about what kind of energy bars to eat, see this link in the wiki resources

Anyhow, I still think Manhattan is better than PR, and Kaplan is good but mroe difficult than OG. I will keep you posted  _________________ Isis Alaska |

Yes, the GMAT prep, I call it "OG test" (Official Guide Test), I will use GMAT prep "nomenclature" in the future to avoid confusion  _________________ Isis Alaska |
