GMAT Strategy

HI friends

i am prepairing for GMAT by myseld and started with SC.I have solved first 100 question of SC.As I just startded with prepairation I am concentrating more on accuracy first.
I am aiming for around 720.

I got 75 right answers out of 100 qustions of OG11.

Is it good enough or it is very less???????
Kindly relpy

75/100 is just a number.

Did you learn from your mistakes ?

Are there any topics that you can describe as your weaknesses ?

Did you read all of the explanations ?

Did you learn new concepts ?

Can you apply them to new questions ?

Did you time yourself ?

etc...

It is a learning process my friend, do not let the numbers fool you.

Good luck!

Umm, anybody whom I help with the GMAT, I insist they read MGMAT's SC guide and develop an accuracy of 80-85% atleast under timed conditions.

I would advise the same for you.

Does AT LEAST modify under timed conditions in this sentence or the accuracy ?

I was going for atleast ,even

Nice work logitech. haha

Now we all have to watch what we write!

Sumi.

I have done MGMAT's SC guide

i read all the explanations, i learnt from the past mistakes but still in every 10 questions of OG11 i get 2 or 3 wrong.
I am not able to reduce this figure

Are you getting the same type of Question wrong or they are spread across all the topics? Can you further break that down to which type occurs more often?? And why?

oh ya it worked

i analysed that most of the time i get trap in idioms related and as/like related questions

I will work more on these areas now

thanks a ton

Hey, can you suggest or share some material related to CR.
I am starting with it.Though i am referring Priceton Review for it but is there any other good materia fot it.

thanks in advance

For Critical Reasoning I think PowerScore GMAT CR Bible is the best. I always thought critical reasoning was my strong point (based on a couple of diagnostic tests I gave). But I was in for a shock when I started solving the OG 11 questions. I got almost 10 incorrect in the first 40 itself. I realized that something was amiss and got the PowerScore bible. After reading through it thoroughly (it took 3 days) I did the OG 11. I got only 4 wrong in the next 100 Questions or so. And 3 out of the 4 were silly mistakes on my part -- as in I had not read the questions completely (I have that problem across the board.).

Anyways, I must say that PowerScore Gmat CR bible is by far the best GMAT prep material I've read so far. Its so detailed and some of its strategies are just too good. One of the benefits of doing PowerScore CR bible was that it tremendously helped me in Reading Comprehension as well.

thanks a lot for the suggestions but somebody tell me about my performance.

As in SC I got 75 out of 100( OG 11 ) right and I am aiming for 720+
then is this result very bad?????

Its not that simple. Is SC your ONLY weak area?? IF it is, then you are probably fine. If not, then you are on shaky ground.

Your best bet would be to take a complete GMAT test then see for yourself how you have fared.
