GMAT Prep

by midori » Wed Nov 11, 2009 12:06 am
I'll sit for my actual test on the 25th this month.

I read lots of people here recommend to use GMAT Prep and that's what i did.

My result for the 1st attempt:

550, Q-45, V-21

Got 21 wrong in verbal section..**sigh**.. especially in Sentence COrrection. I've also done OG12 diaognostic test, i'm quite ok with RC and CR but in SC, almost 3/4 of SC questions got wrong..

Any advices for my last minute preparation?

p/s i've even had a dream that i score 580 in my test, and it really demotivate me..

Cheer up buddy. Since you know that SC is your weak point, attack it. Buy the Manhattan GMAT SC Guide and study it rigorously. You should see results.

At this point of time, Manhattan SC guide is best for you. Try to search manhattan sc guide on esnips or on rapidshare.

focus more on basic topics, like camparison, clauses, and parallelism.

thanks everyone.. i did use manhattan sc.. i just took the test last week.its worst.. i got crashed by GMAT..i'm so nervous for the last two days and did not do any last minute revision, instead, i watching movies for whole day..

480, 37-Q and 20-V..i never expect that my Q section would be that bad.. i'm pretty good at it..and my usual average mark is 45-48..i'm just aiming to get 610 and above..is it too much?? *sigh*

i have to retake it again, but still planning what i should and should not do..

The most important things are to identify yours weaknesses and convert them into yours strengths. I know it is little bit difficult to change our weakness into strength, but regular practice and candid efforts will do so.

So, list down all yours hurdles that come while comprehending and solving the given problems. Recognize yours weakest area (PS, DS, CR, SC, or RC).

Good Luck.
