Please try to give it another shot. Your Math score is very reasonable. From reading your post, it doesn't seem like you are specially struggling with english. So, preparation should give you a much improved score. So, just give it one more shot without putting on yourself. You seem to be already re...

Hi, Most certainly create or refer to Flash cards everyday. For RC, practice 2 passages from OG or VR everyday. Look up the RC tips from the BeatTheGMAT Resources section.

Test day -Time availble for reading instructions
Hi, Some test day questions: 1. How much time is available for reading instructions? 2. Anecdotally, is 1 scratch book sufficient for the entire test(AWA+Q+V)? 3. If you take a 2nd scratch book at the beginning of the Verbal section, can you get it a few minutes before you start the section? 4. What...

PoerPrep Tests - how useful are these?
Hi,
Would you recommend taking the PowerPrep tests? Are they still relevant or are they very different from the GMAtPrep tests?
Thanks in advance,
