Hey All,

I'm taking it in Feb. 07 and have been studying since mid Dec. I know its only 2 months but thats all I can afford Sad

My strategy:

- Princeton Review Book (Finish match, take math exam 1, finish verbal, take verbal exam 1. Then, take the last exam for both sections)

- Review Princeton material online (if you purchased the book)

- Kaplan 800 book (finish all exams possible, review weak areas)

- OG 11th Edition (")

- mba.com gmat prep software final review

Misc. items:

Review misc. notes and hints that I've printed by visiting this forum!

P.S.: I've read that the Kaplan 800 exams are much harder than the actual GMAT. Should I just skip that book and focus on the OG book and then come back to Kaplan 800?

Thanks!!

@ maxim730- GMAT is a computer adaptive test CAT , therefore you get items tough or easier, on how you perform.
...K800 doesnt hv out of scope illustrations all are well under GMAT syllabus. Neutral

go ahead with your plan and report your progress here. Smile

this is personal info and i know it has nothing to do with the GMAT; still it might affect this thread so am writing it here...

i am moving. shifting the base from my native to some other place ~400kms.
i ll bring my PC here as soon as i can, still it ll be 14 jan... Sad

till then i cant write a CAT, practise 1000SC, write long posts or publish a new blog. Sad

yet, like now, i ll be online through my mobile.

I have a month before test and I am still not satisfied with my score, kind of low, still. Any suggestion of what should I do?

Here is my daily routine:
- Work full time form 7:30-4:30
- Study at lunch time (1 hr)
- Study after work form 5-8 (M-Th)
- Study on week-ends (Sat and Sunday about 6 hours in total)
Book reviewed:
- OG (yellow book) and OG both verbal (purple) and math (green). Took 1 practice test, still 1 left
- Kaplan the whole book including the review section with CD, took 1 practice test, still 2 remaining
- Princeton Review the whole book
- Manhattan Sentence Correction the whole book, did not do any test yet

So, at this point what should I do, more practice test? More review questions? Other books? Should I increase the number of hours of study?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
By teh way, 2 days ago I score donly 500 Embarassed

and also
