Sandeep, The MGMAT CR book is a lot more to the point. It has a lot less (or in my case just enough) theory and is a lot faster to complete. Its easier to remember as well. Again, this book was a perfect fit for me since my logical reasoning skills were decent to begin with. All I was looking for in...

I believe that you have enough books. How many mock tests do you have left. I would recommend that you have a range of target scores in Quant and Verbal section and aim for those. Start with one section, improve your performance in that and then move on to the next section. The reason is that you pr...

If we are trying to find which one is the best then B probably is the best, but I am not sure it qualifies as an assumption. An assumption, by definition is supposed to be true for the argument to hold true. I don't believe that the B needs to be true. Here is why. 1. B assumes that the people who b...

Purnima, I would also recommend that you check www.e-gmat.com out. I took this course and found it to be very useful. It is designed for non native speakers. It is one of the recommended courses on the forum. go through their preview and see if it works for you. http://www.beatthegmat.com/re-online-...

I would also recommend that you go through www.e-gmat.com . A lot of people have recommended e-gmat. It has helped quite a few people in improving their SC accuracy.

but as i mentioned: 1. chinese applicants, not all chinese test-takers; 2. most refers to this percentage (=# of chinese applicants who scored at least 760/# of all chinese applicants), not the percentage you stated (= # of chinese applicants who scored at least 760/ # of world-wide test-takers). a...

Three steps!!
1. Login with your user id and password.
2. Click on Study --> Solo practice --> Specific skills.
3. Practice and enjoy.
Note you don't need a premium membership for this. Contact Grockit if you have questions. Ideally they should have had a video showing this.

btw, 750 is still not a decent score for chinese students. most chinese applicants scored at least 760. so, it's not strange that i can score 710 2yrs ago without knowing how to speak english. Hi Tina, Your review is is giving a complex to me and people on the forum. If each of 26,000 Chinese who g...

You are welcome Rima. I believe that that road to continuous improvement is Critical Review (of your mistakes). As long as one can do a good job at that and not repeat the same mistakes, it should be possible to score 700+..

Vishal, I would recommend a step by step improvement process. First focus on quant for the first 15 days and improve your quant score to 45+. Then focus on SC for the next 10 days and improve your SC accuracy to 70%. Then repeat the same with CR and RC. this should allow you to get your scaled score...

I would say that you look at the positives and focus on Quant. You can use Grockit for practice and re do the materials again. Revising MGMAT books would also be a good idea. You surely have the potential to score 740+ if you can lift up your score in quant!! Don't miss this as this may impact the s...

@rima.mehta: I was in the same boat a month or so back before speaking to Rajat@ e-gmat . He asked me to first improve my accuracy in RC and then worry about timing. He also told me how a having a standard process helps a lot for the same. In addition, he also recommended that I spend a lot of time ...
