GMAT Strategy

OK!
You may be right in asserting that it is still possible to score higly on the real thing.
And so, I can help improving my score on the real thing.
I kept working with OG 10th and 11th and noticed that it really helped me to score high on GMAT prep. But this was virtually of no help on the real thing. I may be wrong in thinking that to score high you have to recall what you already know in way or another and as presentions change on the real thing ,you could spend more time recognizing patterns and damages your score at the same time.
I will plan retaking the test for the 3rd time and I really need guidance.
I've already covered mid and high value questions of OG 10 th and 11th, did 2 tests of GMAT FOCUS. What do I need to score Q: 48 and V: 42 on the real thing?
Please help!

All these discussions remind me the movie called Glengarry Glen Ross...

Blake: You got leads. Mitch & Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, *you are* shit, hit the bricks pal, and beat it, 'cause you are going *out*.

Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.

Blake: "The leads are weak." The fucking leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business fifteen years...

SO PLEASE GO BACK TO STUDY AND STOP COMPLAINING, it is not that GMAT is getting harder, it is you getting WEAKER!!

I agree; just beacuse its easier or harder for someone does not have any effect on the fact that if its going to be harder or easy for you


I am sure GMAC has changed their question pool like Ian said (adding more unfamiliar questions) but I firmly (atleast to keep my spirits up) believe the concepts that its testing us on doesn t change)

Identifying the starting approach to any question is the key to getting it right or wrong.

My 2 cents worth... Good luck All!! Hoope for the best and at the same time keep working hard(thats all we can do)!!!

I also believe luck does play a major factor (liks LSB said u could get a high score in verbal since the majority of the questions u missed were experimental questions)

Does anyone have a proven statistic of the number of experimental questions in Quant/Verbal?(I am sure we would not have time to think if its a experimetal question or real question under the exam pressure and time constraint)
