Gmat crush me..

by jeevan.Gk » Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:06 am
Hi guys.

I got 580 .. Totally dissapointed. I am gearing up for my next attempt.

I have finished OG's and Kaplan-800 and kaplan verbal.

Where do i get some fresh resources.
I have used Gmat preps lot of times and all Mgmat's also.

Anyone here used Gmat club preps ?? how are they.
Veritas better ?? or 800 score. Pls throw some light .

Resource for some nice quality RC's ..

Thanks guys..

Hi Jeevan,

Hmm, the three OG books are the most important resources, I'm not sure what else to recommend.

It's important to realize that it's not only the quantity of studying that is important, it is also the quality of your preparation. Can you tell us your overall prep strategy; perhaps we can recommend improvements.

I completely agree with the above post; it is not necessarily about the QUANTITY of your prep, it's about the quality. You mentioned that you've already "finished" the OGs - does this mean that you've just gone through and answered all the problems, or did you actually take the time to analyze each problem, and why the correct answers are right and the incorrect answers are wrong?

What was your breakdown? Do you have any specific weak areas you can pinpoint? How was your pacing on the exam? If you post more details about your score (and previous prepping information), people will be able to provide you with more advice.

Good luck!
