GMAT Prep Verbal algorithm makes no sense...
On GMAT Prep 1, I got 31 out of 41 questions right (75% accuracy) (missed the second to last and left the last one blank which hurts your score) I got a 39V.

MGMAT way more difficult and confusing than OG11
I took two MGMAT practice tests: 680 Q 48, v35 640 Q 44, v32 Here are my concerns / thoughts. Math: The math is just impossible.
