Thanks you.

I would say it been long time since I registered on forum but effective learning started only last year.

Practice. I practiced questions in OG12, Verbal supplement and forums repetitively.

This was a concern to me when I decided to give my second attempt. I remember from one of Ron's posts that mock tests to make you comfortable with timing constraints and doesn't add enough to learning as studying individual question adds. So, I stopped worrying about new prep tests. However, I remember doing multiple attempts on Kaplan, MGMAT and GMAT Prep tests to get an idea of timing and build up stamina.

Thanks Pranay!

How was Quant on the real exam?
Tougher than OG?

Do you think diligently solving OG13 and quant review is sufficient to get a 48-49-50 in quant?

Or do you think gmat prep questions are to be solved?
how did you manage Permutations, combinations ,probability & divisibility?

I followed OG and quant supplement guides in-addition to questions posted on BTG.
