Best for quant is the last 50 questions in the official guide in ps and ds..they're the closest to the actual gmat. To add to it, last 50 questions from PS,DS from last 4 OGs I have found really helpful for practice. Some questions overlapped but some questions were new in the OGs I have always fou...

You should definitely be doing the IR on practice tests. The last thing you want is to endure a 3.5 hour test for the first time on test day. Moreover, it's not entirely clear how schools weigh IR, so, while it isn't as important as Quant/Verbal, there's reason to believe that IR may be considered ...

Got done with the GMAT finally and happy that I won’t have to take it again. Mine is a long journey spreading over more than a year. March 2014: Took the GMAT with only a month of preparation. I thought that I did decent on the exam but was shocked to see only a 610. I think I was not fully prepa...

Am glad to share with you all that I took my GMAT yesterday and got a 720(Q-48,V-40).This was my second attempt on the GMAT. The last attempt was on 12th December last year. I had high expectations on the first GMAT but did not do well. I did not do well both on verbal and Quant sections that time ...

I think this applies to me as well. My grammatical grasp is not very strong but I can distinguish between right and wrong sentences easily. With me i know the grammar, but struggle with those nuances that gmat tests..always get stuck between last two options[/quote] I have a different take here. I ...

Analysis is the key. The more you analyze and keep in mind that you dont have to fall in the same pits, the better you'll become. Also try to avoid silly mistakes. That's more than enough to improve by 30-40 points do you suggest attempting AWA during your practice tests? I think attempting AWA dur...

Doing focused RC practice is the best way I have improved a bit in this game. Skimming through passages, focusing on the first para and then focusing on the first and last sentence of every subsequent para is very helpful Does reading a particular type of material on particular subjects help? For e...

The day that I had fantasied about for long is finally here. I may not have won a gold medal on the GMAT by scoring 760+, but I think that I have definitely won a silver medal with a 740. I have been active on these forums for almost a 1 year now and would like to thank the members here greatly who...

Do you guys also attempt AWA while doing your practice tests? I have just started off my prep so dont think that I am the right person to comment but one of my friends who took the gmat recently said that he hardly attempted awa during his prep. He said that his focus was to do as well as possible ...

Well mine has been quite a frustrating GMAT journey. Whenever I'd open these forums here,I'd see people scoring 750 or 760 on the first attempt itself and I always used to get anxious when I'd reach this score and in fact after the first attempt I never thought that I'd be able to reach this score....
