Thanks Rich, so should I not spend a ton of time on Geometry? I feel like thats a big part of the Quant. On the Verbal SC was the bigger weakness which is surprising since I usually do better on SC than RC OR CR. RC I basically panicked. If I read a difficult passage, rather than jotting down the ma...

Rich,
My scaled scores were 20 Quant, 25 Verbal and 3 for Integrated reasoning. But again, I have spent no time going over IR so I am not taking that score seriously. Here is what i dont get.

My scaled scores were 20 Quant, 25 Verbal and 3 for Integrated reasoning. But again, I have spent no time going over...

First CAT score

Rich I do agree some of the techniques used on DS can be applied to the general problem solving questions. If i were shooting for a 700 or better than i'd probably go for the Manhattan books. Half of my study is to learn the material enough to answer questions with 100% accuracy or at least be able ...

Thanks for all the help. My test date is March 17th and luckily for me I am trying to get into a local school here in NYC. A 540-600 GMAT score would suffice. Sorry I am not like the other people here looking for 700's and better. I became a member of Magoosh for assistance with Math which is helpin...

Thanks for the response. Are there any specific books you would recommend for QUANT? Specifically books that assume the reader has not foundation for the material,but at the same time has challenging 700+ level questions. I have the OG 13 book, also for quant and verbal and I have the Kaplan premier...
