Thanks for the congrats everyone. Now the REALLY hard part begins: business applications... I'm likely going to work at least another year to get more experience before I apply. I doubt any top tier schools are out to hire rookies.

The way I like to do RC and SC questions was go directly to the solutions portion of the OG12 book with another thin, hardcover book. I would go through the questions one-by-one covering the answer. Then I would try and answer the question as quickly as possible (the main exercise to find the "...

Hi all, Last saturday I took my first MGMAT (manhattan) test and no doubt, It gave me some real jolts. Before taking the test I had mostly been practicing from OGs. The way I practice verbal using OGs is that I attempt 10 questions of RC/CR/SC and then mostly average the time. I was pretty good, ti...

You may want to look into getting a tutor - it will be cheaper than a professional course and you can pay a college student $10-15/hr to go through the topics with you.

I personally think this is a solid plan to get over 600 - I may be a little biased because that's exactly what I did. I agree RC and CR are something that can't be improved readily - you either have the ability to think logically or you don't. SC is much like math - there is right and wrong, and way...

What helped me the most in Sentence Correction (which went from my worst to one of my best sections) is going over every Official GMAT SC question I could find. The main thing is to read the explanations - you will start to notice patterns among the SC questions, and eventually realize they are virt...

What will be the score you would award for this. I'm not really a professional grader - I would say 2.5 or 3.
