Thanks bro. Just read your debrief and am very inspired by it :) Hoping that I can do better than 660 that's all.. I'm so nervous about it :S Why not try solving a few Quant questions from the materials you used? I found that the best way to revise quant is to actually solve a few problems rather th...

Quickest way of revising Quant to get same score as 1st test

I took the test about 3 weeks ago and got a Q:48 V:33. I have been focussing on the Verbal portion since then and now am a little scared that I've forgotten some of the tricks I learned just before the first test. I am taking the test again in two weeks and its still have to go over RC again. What i...

I've been reading the CR Bible by Powerscore and frankly it seems to have questions that are more complicated than the actual GMAT CR Questions. Does anyone else feel the same way?? Am I wasting my time reading this book? I got a 660 couple of weeks ago and was focusing on Verbal since I had a 33 i...

this is crazy! I was getting 50-53% accuracy on MGMAT tests before taking the GMAT for the first time, but by following exactly what you said, the accuracy went up to about 80-95% (depending on the section of SC)!! But I think the reason I'm doing better is because I took time to read, understand an...

Sorry,I just missed that you had 48 on the GMAT. I looked at the Quant scores you had got on the Mock Test which w...

Many people on BTG will disagree with me but I still believe that doing some LSAT sample tests will help you improve your verbal score. Thanks wharton750 for the suggestion. I bought the Powerscore CR Bible. Shouldn't that be sufficient as far practicing LSAT level problems? I'm not as smart as peo...
