quant 700-800 questions/books for Quant

by batbond007 » Sun Dec 27, 2009 3:11 pm
Hi,
While going through my first mgmat test results i noticed I need to improve on the 700-800 level questions and somewhat on 600-700 level questions. Any suggestions as to which book/question bank covers this the best for Quant. Dana/Testluv/high scorers any feedback will be vey helpful.

Looking at your score report, I would say the biggest area of immediate opportunity is in improving on 500-700 level DS questions. DS is all about procedure, and less about content. Master a good method, and have that basic content nailed down...then, you can look into improving on 700-800 level...how's that saying go? You have to learn how to walk before you run, and learn how to run before you fly...or something like that!

Up until now, I have not had the chance to review materials covering truly advanced material. Kaplan Advanced did not live up to my expectations actually - I found their Math Workbook much more worth it. I've heard some good reviews about the Manhattan Challenges question bank - people say it's really, really demanding.

Hi batbond007

Looking at your scores, I think you need improvement on PS questions, you seem to be doing relatively better in DS. You need to improve on 600-800 questions IMO.

You may try MGMAT Challenge archive. Another option that has wored for me is to copy paste all the 700-800 level qns and incorrectly answered qns of MGMAT CATs in a word doc and re-do those questions and try 20-30 questions at a time and set time limit appropriately.
