Hi All,
Without dredging up threads that are well over a year old, I was looking for some help on getting my start on the GMAT. I took the GRE last fall (the newest iteration of the CAT GRE) and did well for my purposes. However, my quant skills are lacking. I was a lit major in UG and did little to prepare for the GRE, perhaps a total of 12-15 hrs of studying. I scored 166V 154Q 6.0AW (96, 57, 99%iles, respectively). I was strong in math in high school, with a 760Q on my SAT and several AP math courses, but I took minimal math in college and seem to have lost my ability.
In any event, has anyone taken both the recent CAT GMAT and GRE and can compare the verbal and AW sections? My second questions is, as a non-quant, what is the best way to sharpen my quant skills outside of taking tons of Q sections for practice? To be clear, I understand the principles and formulas, but I'm way, way out of practice, so I'm not needing to learn anything new, just drill, drill drill.
EDIT: I also took the LSAT in UG "just to see" and did fine on it (165), especially on RC and CR questions. From the GMAT questions I've played around with on the web, it seems like GMAT CR questions could easily also be LSAT CR questions. I probably spent 40-60 hrs preparing for the LSAT.
All advice is appreciated, folks!
Thanks
