Congrats dubinsky,Great Score.

I wanted to ask something, how many free and paid tests you gave ? and is it good to get paid tests(I mean to get paid kaplan and MGMAT tests ?) or free tests work well ?

@Ankush 002 WEll TERE ARE a couple of free tests out there..... Which give u a decent indication of wer u stand... Dont use the Kaplan Cd as an indication however!!!

The scores are like 80 less than u cud xpect to see on your GMAT...

Well I took Manhattan Gmat tests 6 of em and found thm pretty helpful....

I dont think u need to take any p[aid test series cuz der are a lot of free options out there... But to see your consistency and improvement in performance you need to have many tests of one level which I feel MGMAT gives you

Thanks a lot dubinsky.

Well, right now only GMAT. I am struggling with Verbal at the moment ( Doing really bad !!)
About GMAT date, I have not booked a slot yet. But i am targeting August end.

Could you please give any pointers on how to prepare for SC and RC. I really suck in both of them :(

OK.. You might want to check for da availability of the slot in your center right now....
And once you book your slot trust me you will be able to study much better with much more sincerity as the pressure builds up....

For SC - I advise that you go through the Grockit questions - Free trial and its very easy to get a membership too there by inviting some friends....
Cuz in SC you need to practice alot.... Besides the practice the more important part is making a conscious attempt to find the reason why you got each question wrong!!!
Maybe note down stuff in a book... Small steps but i bet they will pay off!!!

For RC- well i was pretty bad in that too... What helped me alot was making a few notes while i read the passage.... I spent about 3-4minutes reading and understanding the passage real well with my concise notes....
After that each question answered based on memory and maybe a glance through my notes occasionally...
But for a detail question always look back in to the passage for the accurate words.....


Hope that was helpful!
