Dear All,
I would just like to thank this forum and give a small word of advise, to the people who have not beat the Gmat yet....
Here is my story ( short version)
The first time I did the Gmat, I scored 590 (q 41, v 31) and I was devastated. I had been scoring 650 & 680 the weak before.
I decided to take some time to think what I did wrong.... I realized I had to start Gmat from scratch.
As I'm an engineer, Quant was not really a problem, so I decided to focus on Verbal, especially SC
I bought -
1. Manhattan SC guide
2. OG Verbal.
I took me 3 months to go through these 2 books THOROUGHLY, that is (doing ALL the exercises and understating all my mistakes)
Once I was confident with SC I started with CR.
I divided these questions into 8 types (I'm sure you can find more) but I thought that these were the most repeated.
1. Assumption
2. Weaken/Strengthen
3. Inference
4. Boldface
5. Complete the argument
6. Apparent discrepancy
7. EXCEPT
8. Argument depends on...
Then I simply did 50 questions of each... and developed a small methodology.
Simply ask your self - what??? (Conclusion) & why???? (Premise)..... AND REVISE ALL YOUR MISTAKES!!!!!
I was now confident with SC , CR.
For RC , I simply had to time my self. For me what worked best was to read slow and answer fast.
I did not want to post a complete study guide, but give you a bit of hope....
and quoting this forum - " people never fail... they just give up "
ALL THE BEST
Marcos
