Thank you so much for the overwhelming response and the many congratulations! My inbox is completely flooded!

Firstly, my scores:

Verbal - 41(93% Percentile)
Quantitative - 50 (90% Percentile)
Analytical Writing - 5/6
IR - 6/8

I see that most of you want me to share my compiled rules. I have absolutely no issue with doing that but the problem is that I do not have them as a document. Most of them are handwritten in a notebook while some of them are in the form of highlighted text in different books. Since I've got so many requests for the rules, I've decided to compile them in a soft document. I have already started the process but it'll take me a week or two to do so. Or maybe more. So, if anyone has his or her exam coming up soon then I suggest you follow the strategy to make your own notes.

Remember that if you aim for a high score then you have to dissect each and every topic to the level that you are confident to crack almost any question that comes from it.

And the 'rules' that I'm talking about are not just a compilation of the brief theory that is usually given before the questions in various books. The solutions at the back give you much more than that.

The books I referred:

Official Guide: This book is like the bible. GMAC has very intelligently covered almost all types of questions and has given an insight into its thought process while framing questions.
Don't just read the concepts and solve the questions. Study the solutions given at the back as well. Read and re-read them. That's the real stuff. They reveal the various nuances of different types of questions.

If you have gone through each and every solution properly in the Main official guide, then you'll find the Quantitative and Verbal OG's easy and you should find only a few new type of questions. The actual level of the exam is more like these guides rather than the main one.

I'll also recommend Manhattan's books. They have a decent collection of theory as well. However, around half of the theory in them is redundant.

Basically, go for books that give detailed solutions and then use them to make your rules.

Hope this helped!
