I relied on these forums heavily while preparing for the GMAT (740 97%, 50Q 94%, 41V 92%). When I started studying for the exam the amount of information and reference material out there seemed enormous and I really thought a one-stop-shop guide would be helpful. I've never written a blog before but I thought my experience and perspective could help future GMAT students:

Hopefully it will bring more clarity than confusion. Good luck to everyone. Please let me know if I can answer specific questions.

Sorry - you should be able to read it now.

I would post it here but it is quite long and has some downloads of spreadsheets to help with the exam.

Thanks.

I read your blog and I thought you had a lot of great pointers there. Thank you very much for this. I am going to use the books that you used and practice, practice, practice! I just started a couple weeks ago, but I have found that practicing them gives me more and more confidence, especially when I started getting them right. I am more like you in the sense that I like to go in head over heels in a single subject, then move on to another when I feel I have a firm grasp on it. Congratulations on your 740, that's definitely something to be proud of!
