Ok so here is my take on it :
Qauntative:
1) Problem soleving are a bit tough than the powerprep level, but with bit of practice one can take care of these. In fact, i completed with 12 minutes to spare.
2) I lost most of my marks on DS. They are the silent killers. These questions have some hidden possibilities which i need did not consider. Got 4 wrongs in it.
3) All my first 5 questions where dead right. Actually i sensed it as they got tougher in a span of first 15 questions.
4) These questions did not cover statistics, sequence and series, and probablity. Hence, i don't think quant section is tougher than powerprep or GMAT prep; i tend to loose more marks in these 3 topics.
Lesson learnt: concentrate on first 5 questions more and still need to practice 3 biggies: sequences & series, probability, and statistics.
Can anybody give me pointers to Statistics and sequences & series. I want to revise a bit before i get on with GMAT prep.
English section:
1) RCs are a silent killers. i got 40% accuracy in RC. You shouldn't get the questions wrong serially; if you do, you get low scoring questions after that disaster. Exactly same happened here. I got 4 RC questions wrong, and i got very easy CRs & SCs after that which though right, didn't fetch me good marks.
2) My CR has improved a lot. I tried all the approach suggested on this forum. They are fruitful. Especially the ones with "EXCEPT" clause.
Moral of the story: Need to go through some grammer notes, and revise OG RCs again while continuing with CR 1000.
