I just beat the GMAT! 740, 97th percentile; 5.5 on essays
Thank you all for your help and advice. The biggest pieces that I can pass on from my own experience are the following: Preparation: 1. The best practice tests were the mba.com practice tests . They gave the exact experience and very similar question types. Those tests most closely mirrored the test...

Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting a 740! This surpassed my expectations. One piece of advice I would add to using an operners drill is to make sure that when you go back to doing the actual test you adjust back to a reasonable speed instead of the openers drill speed of addressing quant ...

Thanks again for the advice. I am now looking to clean up my math with some harder problems. Is there a place I can go to get a slew of harder math problems? Doing the easy and moderate problems just is not helping any longer.

Thanks for the advice 
I am going to look around of the "og11" resource and ignore my Princeton test score as I took another practice test and got a 690. So the Princeton score was an anomaly.

based on linarpower's suggestion I am going to do just tons of math problems, just the beginnings. Can anybody point me to a resource where I can find 100s of quantitative problems?
Thanks for help.

Re: Goal 710, test date 7-10
how can you prepare to solve problems time-efficiently ? one excellent way is what i call the OPENERS DRILL. in this drill, you hammer through about 50-100 o.g. problems per hour, and just specify how you would START the problem. that's right - you don't actually go all the way through the problem,...

Quick history: I have studied for the GMAT for 2 months. I spent the first month using the Kaplan study guide. Eventually I started taking practice tests and browsing different forums. Below are my test results and reactions to the tests. 1. Kaplan written test: 690 This was an easy test to take, no...

Approach to inequalities
Besides doing problems is there any best way or advice to approach questions with inequalities? Especially The DS one. They kill me.

I voted other. I have only experienced the Kaplan and the MBA.com tests and taking the MBA.com test felt like more what an adaptive test would feel like. Does anybody know if the online test that Kaplan gives free with the book is adaptive. It certainly did not feel that way as the questions did not...
