Among Math, Verbal, and AWA--which section do you think is most difficult? I'd like to get a sense of which section this community struggles with the most; perhaps we can taylor some content on this forum to help you.

Feel free to reply to this post if you wish to address something specific about your weakest section. For example, I find SC questions to be particularly hard in Verbal...

Thanks for your vote!

My verbal ability was lacking overall, but I found the Manhattan guide to be a godsend for sentence correction. As for reading comprehension, I think the approach depends on the individual; I prefer to skim the passage twice and refer back to when needed. But critical reasoning still drives me nuts. Is there a good guide or book for critical reasoning?

I haven't found a great resource for CR myself, other than OG. I find that CR is a lot like RC, in that the approach depends on the individual.

Check out this series of blogposts on my blog: https://beatthegmat.blocked/2005_07 ... chive.html

I also recommend checking out the resources in the CR area of this forum. 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."
