690 TO 750+ IN 3 MONTHS

by djc » Wed Jan 21, 2009 3:02 am
Hi Folks,

This is an amazing platform to discuss matters of the GMAT. The way things stand i got a 690 (47q/38v) last month and plan upon taking the test again in about 3 months time. I have to acknowledge the fact that my preparations were very haphazard and incomplete.

I am looking to get a score of around 50q/45v. In all honesty, I am not very concerened about quant but I do think that to achieve 45 in verbal would require a special effort.

The following are the books that I have
og 11th review
og extra (both quant + verbal)
kaplan premier
kaplan 800
manhattan sentence correction

What other resources would you recommend?? Is Princeton any good (keeping in mind that I have a 690 and want to improve it)? Any other resources that are similar to Kaplan 800???Any strategies that you think may help me.

Cheers

I don think you need any more books, just some focussed preparation should get you to the 750 mark, this is obviously considering the fact that you claim that your prep last time around was haphazard and you still managed to get a 690.

PR is not good enough for people aiming to get a 720+. You can also try the Manhattan books for RC and CR, if you need help in that area. Thoguh I have personally not used Veritas books, I have heard they are good.

Cheers
