Conquered...690 Q46 V39

by yh2286 » Sat May 09, 2009 9:41 am
It's been along time coming, studying for 3 hours a day during weekdays and 8 hours on weekends for the past few months but the hard work has paid off. Not the 700 I was shooting for, but I am not one to make a big deal about 10 points.

I primarily used the GMAT Hacks PDF files along with the OG Guide and Manhattan Verbal Review. The pdf files were great in providing a strategy to approach the test as well as briefly go over the different concepts. I used the two books solely for their practice problems.

My study strategy involved going through each set of problems twice and then reviewing the incorrect problems/concepts over and over and over again until I got them right. I also reviewed the flashcards from this website the night before the test.

Princeton 1 490 V22 Q37
Princeton 2 640 V31 Q47
Kaplan 1 640 V38 Q42
Kaplan 2 660 V40 Q44
Actual 690 V39 Q46

Now, all that is left is to decide which top 3 b-school I shall go to?
