Hi

I have gone through the Official Guide Verbal Review and the Official Guide 11 for all the Verbal questions. I have 2 weeks to D Day and am looking for some good practice sources.

The MGMAT Question Bank is one source I am looking at. Would people recommend this?

Any other sources which come close to the Official GMAT questions.

Thank you

Hi Bhattu,

If you have two weeks, I'd recommend getting a copy of the OG 12th Edition. Although you have the 11th, there are 149 new questions in the Verbal portion of the 12th Edition, so that's a good amount of new practice items you can focus on.

For our thoughts on the book and a listing of those new questions, check out this post:

Good luck!

For my verbal prep I used ManhattanGMAT Sentence Correction guide, The Official Guide, and gmatfix verbal flashcards.

1) If you don't already have it, consider getting the ManhattanGMAT SC guide and go through its lessons.

2) Get the gmatfix verbal flashcards (you can evaluate some for free); these cards are broken down into SC subtopics, with each topic giving you loads of examples and pinpointed lessons on how the topic is tested on the GMAT

3) Once you can go through the flashcards for a particular topic without error, use the Manhattan guide to find the specific questions in the OG that test the topic you're studying. Practice those questions and study the explanations carefully.

With only 2 weeks left, I'd say to work hard on your SC because I think SC performance takes less work to improve
Best of luck

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
