Hi Rich,
one more question - I have already exhausted the offical GMATprep tests ( free and paid) and am wary of using unofficial sources.
So how do you suggest I take fresh practice tests? Or in way, which sources are more closer to actual GMAT based on your experience.

Bombed GMAT for 5th Time 640 ( Q 45, V 34) - Experts help pl
Hi All, I gave GMAT couple of weeks ago and bombed it for 5th time in a row and for worse this time. I got a 640 ( V34, Q45). On the test day, I was going well with Quant but screwed up with one question I thought I knew very well and hence ended up spending a lot of time ( more than 5 mins) since i...

Hey Jason,
I see that your verbal score jumped from 33 to 41. Did you use Magoosh for verbal practice as well?
I am using Magoosh and thought their Quant was stronger than verbal.

You can get stuff from books; however, I will say that books tend to be a supplement to good instruction. Nothing like having someone help you with your specific issues. Hi Jim, I have options of coaching here in Hyderabad India, its just that I am not confident with the level of support I may get ...

Hi Brent, Thanks for the response...
Lets presume that I am disciplined and can spend that focused effort, but will coaching give me any tips and tricks that I otherwise wont find in any of the books?
