How did you learn the theory of concepts tested in the GMAT? Did you use any special resources for this purpose?

hi kasia
i took classes in jamboree institute in bangalore india last year.
they were worked mostly OG 10 and OG 11 and they cover most of the concept in verbal and quant.
although i am not a native speaker i don't have much problem in concept but in test i confused to choose correct answer and when i check my mistake i see that i know most of the rule but i didnt apply them correctly and one more thing after i complete quant i become tired and maybe because of that i cant focus on verbal.i think i need some gmat strategy,kindly guide me.
thank you,thank you,thank you for your help kasia.

hi mary
well i can understand the confusion that u might be having at the moment .in my view ,if u know the concepts and ur not able to apply those concepts in time then probably those concepts are not really flowing within u .memorized knowledge can help u to some extent but unless applying of those concepts gets ingrained in ur mind it wont help u much and trust me no amount of coaching ,especially the ones u talking, will help u .i myself have seen the standards of most of coaching in and around ur place.they just cut copy paste the material .the best thing i can recommend u is to form a good, erudite and serious group at ur place or online (though the disadvantage with the later is that response time is little too much) and keep discussing things(not only the wrong ones but also the right ones).there is a sound logic in my tip .when u keep discussing concepts they become almost ur second nature and thus applying becomes easy !!
my second tip wud be make realistic goals .this one is not to discourage but to tell u that progress is always made in steps

By any chance are you guys aware whether we have any GMAT study group in Bangalore? If yes then it will be great to meet new people who have one thing in common - work hard to Beat the GMAT

Try making a meeting group online with people on this forum who are in a similar situation. There's some good online group meeting programs you could use if you wanna do online groups. Team viewer, go to meeting, Skype... I did online work with someone on this forum and it helped. Good luck.
