130 points of improvement. That's really great..I'm struggling with CR..Can you please suggest some resource ? For CR, you can try either Powerscore CR Bible or Aristotle CR Grail. Both books are good-the only difference is that in CR Bible there are no practice questions, but in CR Grail there are...

Dude, good job. You beat my 760 by 10 points, tied my Verbal, beat me by 1 point on the quant. You have some serious intellectual mojo. BTW, you are now eligible for MENSA. Savor it, brother. It is a small club. You and I are on the same pedestal.760 here too. haha.MENSA sounds interesting. Let's s...


Do you think that the quality of SC questions from GMAT PREP were representative of the quality of questions on the test? I think the SC questions on the actual GMAT were a little trickier than the GMATPREP questions but overall in terms of how representative the GMATPREP questions were, I think th...

Congratulations on a great score. How did you find SC on the real test compared to that in OG13 and Question pack 1? SC on the real test was closer to the SC questions towards the end of OG13 SC as the questions towards the end in OG13 are of higher difficulty level ..I didn't use Question pack 1 s...

Quick Question guys, I went through the SC grail 3rd edition already. I looked through the concepts and did the practice problems at the end of each section. I have yet to do the 125 questions at the end of the book. Is my best bet to do those and then keep an error log to find weaknesses? Is this ...

How do you guys manage concentration during the test? I somehow get tired after finishing the first two sections. In fact, by the time I finish the Quant section,I just feel like getting up and closing the exam. How do I manage this? Do you use the 8 minute breaks you get after the IR and the Quant...

20 on Verbal is really bad given the fact that you were doing fairly well. Since you said that everything was good during the test and there was no stress, the only conclusion that could be drawn is that you were not sufficiently prepared OR that you were plain unlucky.
