Hey,
I did a first "diagnostic" practice test, the GMATPrep software Practice Test #1, and scored a 740...! which would be a very good number to score on the real thing! And I don't think it was luck--looking at the quant questions I missed(i missed a lot), I feel like I could improve by just reviewing some of my years-old calc homework.
So how should I study? I have read the intros to some of the GMAT prep materials in book stores, and they suggest some "counter-intuitive strategy" that they offer that helps ... However, I feel like I'm already doing well, so I don't want to confuse my innate sentence correcting ability with some trained strategy from a book
And I did fine on the time/minutes, too, so not any concern there.
Should I take more practice tests and try to confirm I can score > 700 and that this wasn't a fluke? And if I continue to do well, just sign up and take the GMAT?
Or am I silly for thinking some book "strategy" is going to confuse me, so I should just buy a GMAT prep book anyway and faithfully read it cover to cover, and then take the GMAT? i.e. a prep book is only going to help?
