I did the 250 problems in the 2008 Kaplan Premier Program book. Did all the prolems on the CD.

Did the 4 Kaplan tests on the CD -- scores of 590 - 630 (i think these are to high as there were problems on the CAT tests i saw a second time which made them easier).

I take the test on 8/30/08 and believe i can dedicate 100 hours between now and than to additional study but don't know what else to do.

I ordered the manhattan sentense correction book per this websites recommendation as sentence correction is obviously my weakest area. Data Sufficiency could use improvement. RC and CR are a breeze. Problem Solving is OK.

WHAT DO I DO NEXT? I AM AT A LOSS. do i just keep doing problems from the GMAT OG? is there a better use of my time. My goal is at least 700 on the GMAT.

thanks for the help in advance .....

I feel like i am in the same boat as you only i am still going through OG 11 .The Difference is i cant get the Manhattan review where i live and am stuck doing OG 11.
Why dont you start practice tests believe me timed est taking ..is a challenge, lots of free ones online and definitely do the 2 from GMAT prep.

study concepts

by ConfidenceIsKey » Mon Aug 04, 2008 5:28 am
Your situation sounds very similar to mine. In my opinion, if you're scoring around 600 on avg with Kaplan CATs (which are known to be more rigorous, scoring-wise, than the real thing) and you're shooting for a 100pt gain in 100hrs of studying, continuing to do more & more practice sets isn't the key. Study the concepts that you're consistently getting wrong. It's those higher level questions which are preventing you from bridging up to a higher score bracket. If, after completing the OG book and CD tests, you're still getting the same scores then I would guess that it's the concepts that's holding you back and not the lack of familiarity with the problem types. Just my two cents...

confidence .....

the comments you made are the conclusions that i have also made ....however after reading the Kaplan book cover to cover I became frustrated in that it appears to me that its almost impossible to actually see any improvement by studying the concepts (by concepts I mean things other than basic multiple choice test taking techniques like elimination, etc.)

while i believe that its probably some fundamental aspect of the test that is causing me problems the study materials just seems to ambigous and subjective to do me any good.

The only way I can see in dealing with these ambiguities is to use braun over brain and just power through as many problems as possible and hope something clicks.

Do you have suggestions regarding "studying the concepts."

thanks,
