GMATPrep - 590 (Q41 V31) - Would really appreciate feedbacks

This was my first full practice test after 10 weeks of full-time studying and to be honest, I thought I did ok on the maths section but totally failed on my verbal. I'm trying to aim for around 650 - 700, so I guess if I had gotten my verbal to around a score of 40 or 41, I would be where I want to ...

Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction Guide

Hi all, I've heard a lot of good comments about Manhattan GMAT's Sentence Correction guide so I've decided to give it a read. However, the only version that I have access to is the 2005 version, rather than the latest 2009 4th Edition. I was just wondering if there are any differences between these ...

Thanks mp2437 and Eli! I've also heard some good remarks on Manhattan GMAT's number properties flashcards so I'll probably give that a try. Eli, thanks for the reminder on the Maths Intensive part at the end of the Kaplan coursebook but I've found those questions on Number Properties to be very simi...

How can I improve on Number Properties?

Hi all, I'm currently preparing for the Maths part of the GMAT. With under 5 weeks to go before my actual GMAT test date, I've almost completed my Kaplan GMAT course and I realise that I'm still very weak in Number Properties. Questions on integers and lengthy worded questions in particular, unsettl...
