Need guidance

by sudi760mba » Wed Sep 16, 2009 1:58 am
I'm looking for guidance on where to go from here. I've completed the OG 10 and 12 and feel quite comfortable with the material.

I'm looking for GMAT type questions both math and verbal without exhausting GMAT Prep(Leaving that to the last stage of my prep). I've done PowerPrep but I found the questions too easy considering that they're pretty much out of OG10. My last two PowerPrep scores were 700 and 730.

Thanks!

Well, If you have done OG well, then you can pick up manhattan SC and maths workbooks...

You need to identify your current weak areas by analyzing both tests in detail and focus on specific weak areas.. One may do pile of books but still score low, if you dont focus on weak areas...

I suggest do detailed analysis of your current situation and figure out weak areas... According to me, following books can cover up your weak areas

SC - Manhattan SC
RC - ELTS paper based tests, I also studies boring social studies topics on wikipedia - It really helps as wikipedia language is quite similar to passages in actual GMAT
CR - No better book than OG and kaplan 800
Maths - manhattan and IMS material (if you know IMS is an institute for GMAT coaching in India). Their maths workbook is really awesome

best,

Power Score CR for GMAT/LSAT is a pretty good resource.

I know there are OG quant books with only quant questions in them. have something like 1,000 questions of all difficulties in them. you can probably get a quick copy of it on ebay for not too much. good luck!
