Need strategy for tackling OG11. Please help!?!

by givemeanid » Fri Jun 22, 2007 5:29 am
I just bought the OG11 and it seems to have more than a 1000 practice questions combined! Rougly 200 each for PS, DS, RC, CR and SC. Is there a good way to approach these? I only get maybe 2 hours a day after work to study. So, if I start one section and finish all the questions, then by the time I am through the last section, it will be more than 2 weeks and I don't want the first section to get a little stale in the memory.

How do you approach this? Like tackle 10 or 15 questions everybody from each section? I am planning to take the test last week of July or early Aug.

Also, I downloaded the GMAT Prep that has 2 tests. Are there any other official tests out there? OG11 did not come with a CD or DVD.

Looks like you need to spend some time up front forming your strategy. Take some time to look through the GMAT Blog, https://beatthegmat.blocked, and the GMAT Resource Wiki, https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/, to see an example of what one good approach for tackling these topics can look like.

With regard to GMATPrep tests--these are the only two, free official tests you can get. You can purchase paper tests from MBA.com, but I think you'd be better served taking the CAT tests offered from PR and Kaplan.

Best of luck!

Yeah. I will definitely look at the links you have provided Thanks Eric. This site is a great resource.

I started my prep couple of weeks back and found this site around the same time. I don't know what I would do without it :)

Yes, do one question type at a time, get into a good groove and review as you go. You can set a target of 15 questions or so, but adjust as you need to.

Good luck!
