In general i think the math score that you get on the paper tests is inflated.

Paper ETS is something new to me..I am going to have a through look before exam. Even if these papers are old they will have some good stuff.

Any idea how old are they ? I don't see any date put up anywhere.

Huh..I am thinking of scheduling my exam a week later now.. :twisted:

The copyright on the tests say 1995, but since the test really doesn't change much you shouldn't worry about the date. Many of the OG 12 problems are just as old.

A lot of people have trouble with the verbal because the tests are a bit more stingy with time (that is you don't get as much of it). If you can, try to stick to the timetable that it gives though, because this will push you to work faster and then make the actual GMAT seem a bit easier.

tell me one thing -All books say that we should draw a grid before we start solving the GMAT paper.Does drawing grid really help and speed up?

You can give it a shot for SC. If you find that you're going back to answer choices that you've already decided are for sure wrong then it might be a good idea. Some students like it and others don't so it depends a bit on you. It may take a little while to get used to though so if you try it you'll probably need to do it a couple times.
