GMAT Strategy

HEYYYYY GUYS I'M IN ,

My goallllllll is wharton next year, and i will do it , i just need to concentrate heavily on the GMAT, u guys say OG GMAT is the best which one is OG ? i have the princeton one

Hey All,

I'm taking it in Feb. 07 and have been studying since mid Dec. I know its only 2 months but thats all I can afford

My strategy:

- Princeton Review Book (Finish match, take math exam 1, finish verbal, take verbal exam 1. Then, take the last exam for both sections)

- Review Princeton material online (if you purchased the book)

- Kaplan 800 book (finish all exams possible, review weak areas)

- OG 11th Edition (")

- mba.com gmat prep software final review

Misc. items:

Review misc. notes and hints that I've printed by visiting this forum!

P.S.: I've read that the Kaplan 800 exams are much harder than the actual GMAT. Should I just skip that book and focus on the OG book and then come back to Kaplan 800?

Thanks!!

eric, thanks for leading the thread while i am away.

will return home tonight

good to see somebody having same goal.
dear nabulsi,
i think you havent checked your private message box... i hv replied your pm.

@ maxim730- GMAT is a computer adaptive test CAT , therefore you get items tough or easier, on how you perform.
...K800 doesnt hv out of scope illustrations all are well under GMAT syllabus.

go ahead with your plan and report your progress here.

this is personal info and i know it has nothing to do with the GMAT; still it might affect this thread so am writing it here...

i am moving. shifting the base from my native to some other place ~400kms.
i ll bring my PC here as soon as i can, still it ll be 14 jan...

till then i cant write a CAT, practise 1000SC, write long posts or publish a new blog.

yet, like now, i ll be online through my mobile.

time to take out the Norman Lewis ''WORD POWER MADE EASY''

yeah just one month is left better brush up the vocab 8)

i know vocab is not tested in GMAT still it ll come handy for RC & AWA sections

so people,
hows prep going ? 8)

Hi eveerybody,

I am jumping in this talk and will try to be regular onwards.....I used to write posts in other threads and had nice discussions,

welcome to the thread greatman!


My update:
as i posted in earlier post that I am helpless these days dont have a PC and the materials i ll need to gauge my progress

but soon i ll take a sim CAT GMAT practice test i ll let you know where i stand
(.....as if you care )

I have a month before test and I am still not satisfied with my score, kind of low, still. Any suggestion of what should I do?

Here is my daily routine:
- Work full time form 7:30-4:30
- Study at lunch time (1 hr)
- Study after work form 5-8 (M-Th)
- Study on week-ends (Sat and Sunday about 6 hours in total)
Book reviewed:
- OG (yellow book) and OG both verbal (purple) and math (green). Took 1 practice test, still 1 left
- Kaplan the whole book including the review section with CD, took 1 practice test, still 2 remaining
- Princeton Review the whole book
- Manhattan Sentence Correction the whole book, did not do any test yet

So, at this point what should I do, more practice test? More review questions? Other books? Should I increase the number of hours of study?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
By teh way, 2 days ago I score donly 500 and also

I am taking the exam on Feb. 10th also.

My Review Strategy:

- Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT (almost done, on the Essay part)
- Take all 4 exams in PR book for Math and Verbal each (Math done)

- Review supplementary notes, printouts, GMAT Flashcard (found these visiting the forum)
- Take princeton's online exam (only if you bought the book)
- Finally, do OG11 problems
- Take the GMATPrep exams

Schedule:

Work 9-6
Study from 7-9,10

Repeat TIll feb. 10

Hi....
I am focussing on OG and Official Verbal and Quant books....
My plans r to go through these books atleast two times....

Do i need some other books? The basics I have done from Barron, and Mnahattam SC guide....

For practice tests I am planning official tests GMATprep alongwith Kaplan and Manhattam.

Please advice.....
