The way I did was when I practiced - I 'clocked' myself but never to do the question in a hurry but to focus on the question and on an average of 10 questions to note how long I took - Between the OG-11, Verbal Review and the 9 test papers from MBA.Com I finally ended up doing SC @ 90 seconds speed ...

I would suggest to practice from the material available on MBA.COM than anything else. There are 9 test papers available - each of them containing approximately 100 questions from both Quant and Verbal. so you will have a total of approximately - 900 questions. However some of them are repetitive fr...

My target was between 650 to 700 to get closer to 700. I got a 700 in my second attempt (Q50 / V34). The first time I gave GMAT I got a 610 and I was pretty disappointed. By then I gave a lot of practice tests including some from Kaplan, Crack GMAT and 800 score. In those tests I scored close to 650...

THIS IS IN MY ORIGINAL POST All - I understand there are a lot of people here who aim for more than 750. This message is not for them. My aim was not that high - my target was between 650 to 700 to get closer to 700. The first time I gave GMAT I got a 610 and I was pretty disappointed. By then I gav...

Also the quantitative review contains 300 more questions like OG 11. The 9 paper tests do contain some repititive questions but there a...

My goal is also to apply to ISB. I just got 700 - not sure if I can apply with that - anyways my advice is do all of the OG 11 - 800, Verbal Review, Quant Review and there are 9 test papers that are available on the MBA.com site - these questions are the closest to what would be given in the GMAT an...

Go for MGMAT

I wouldn't suggest Kaplan as I did not have a good experience with them. I have got scores between 650 and 670 in their CATs and in the actual GMAT I got only 610. I was going through different forums and I was tiold MGMAT (Manhattan GMAT) is closer to the actual GMAT. I am not much aware of how Pri...

Kaplan test scores are very misleading

I have given 5 CATS from Kaplan - I got a 650,670,650,670 and 650. However when I gave the actual GMAR - I just got 610 :(. Kaplan quant is very easy and is not reflective of your true GMAT score - this is from my experience.
