Need advice

by Sankar87 » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:24 pm
Hello,

Planning to take GMAT (first time) in a month. I am using following study materials:

SC : Manhattan
CR : LSAT bible
Math : None. Pretty confident in Math, since I'm from engineering background.

And I am practicing with the following:

RC : Aristotle RC99
SC : 1000 SC
CR : 300+ GMAT CR questions with best solutions - I downloaded this from beat the gmat.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed ? Just have a month's time.

OG is the best for the questions. Dont use LSAT for CR. I have heard LSAT for RC :) MGMAT guides are good. :)
If I am wrong correct me :), If my post helped let me know by clicking the Thanks button ;).

LSAT CR's are based on pattern other than GMAT. Thus they will contain many irrelevant problems.
and for maths go through some basic material even though you are confident.
will improve speed and also you can learn more shortcuts.
If my post helped you- let me know by pushing the thanks button ;)

Thanks guys. Do I need to start taking full tests now or do I need further fine tuning before I can take it up? Where can I get extra practice questions for CR ? I downloaded 300+ GMAT questions with expert answers from BTG.

CANS but I have heard experts say that LSAT RC are good for GMAT preparation right here in RC forums. May be CR is tough and irrelevant. :)

LSAT RC's are good but LSAT CR's are not
(This was mentioned in a post by some expert (don't remember the name though))
CR tests things that GMAT doesn't. thus irrelevant.

Thanks arun@crackverbal. That was really helpful. I was skeptical about wasting one of the two tests that comes with the package so early on. Thanks for the clarification.
