A small update to say THANK YOU to the whole Beat the GMAT community for the invaluable tips and explanations!

After two months of studying, it is finally over :-)

A list of some resources which helped me a lot:

1. Searching beatthegmat.com to find the answers to OG/GMAT Prep Problems

2. The great Debrief by risingstar
https://www.beatthegmat.com/750-48q-45v- ... 56809.html

3. myohmy´s Argument Essay Template - Thank you!
https://www.beatthegmat.com/argument-ess ... 38032.html
Update: AWA 5.5, so it did work!

4. 198 700+ Questions from GMAT Prep - Some small typing errors, but very good to set up your own 75-min practice sessions with only hard questions. Trust me, it is worth it if you want to practice pacing in Quant.
https://www.beatthegmat.com/198-level-70 ... 43783.html

5. The Official GMAT Guide and GMAT Prep 2 simulation tests. Did the first one beginning my training 2 months ago, retook to check if I had learned anything, and saved the second GMAT Prep for one week before the test. I repeated the GMAT 2 Prep the afternoon of the day before GMAT to get me focused on pacing for the test.

6. Grockit.com - just the free practice sessions with other people, not the paid course or anything...good practice.

Again, thanks guys!

Keep working towards your goal and you will make it!

Take care!

Great score dude! Congrats!
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

I heared that GMAT is changing its format in next year not this year. Which change you are talking about?
