Thanks to all for the congratulations. I received my official scores today and I got a 4 on the AWA. Not very good. My only guess for the mediocre score is that I wrote only 4 paragraphs for each. I was basically in energy save mode while I was writing these, but I thought I hit on all the required ...

Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 10:16 am for quant do you think it is enough to do the OG and mgmat tests? Yes, I think those resources have everything one needs to succeed. I actually found that the textbook style teaching from test prep companies worked to my detriment (which could just be due to my opti...

Great Score! Congrates! Can you compare the difficulty level between the SCs in OG 12 and SCs on the real thing?

Thanks a lot for the responses. So it sounds like private tutors don't lay out a detailed study plan with weekly assignments like a group class would. That kind of structure is very important in my opinion. Perhaps a better route would be a group class (manhattan gmat) and a couple of private sessio...
