Awesome score fred. I liked your prep strategy. Can you please tell me how did you do the questions from SC Grail 3rd edition ? Did you do them sequentially or did you them topicwise ? I am practicing questions from the SC Grail and I am doing them topicwise. It really doesn't make sense to practic...

130 points of improvement. That's really great..I'm struggling with CR..Can you please suggest some resource ? For CR, you can try either Powerscore CR Bible or Aristotle CR Grail. Both books are good-the only difference is that in CR Bible there are no practice questions, but in CR Grail there are...

Awesome story. I also want to break into the VC/PE industry post MBA but doing that is not an easy task and those opportunities are usually available to people graduating from the top 5(or top 10 ?) schools. Congrats once again on the great score! What most people don't know that even if you're in ...

Hello gauravdangi , How did you work out the division of study at home and at office. I am particularly interested to know what did you study at office. Was it revision of flash cards, read the articles from magazines or do some questions on the topics that I am weak at. Please elaborate a little o...

Getting through a marquee VC firm is not easy as there are very few positions and they are very choosy about the type of candidates they hire so i guess you will have to start developing a great network from the day you enter an MBA program. Anyway, great debrief. Thanks for sharing your story with ...

I'm struck by these comments -- call me crazy, but there is nothing newsworthy or valuable in any of these first four points. 1. Yes -- and when admissions officers also share that commentary, the market will agree. 2. Does anyone truly believe that the OG was made up of the 'best' questions? They'...

Good suggestions by Unclesam2013. I had personally used SC Grail and found it to be better for SC. Anyway, the good news for you is that you say that you consider "CR and RC as your strengthens" but what beats me is that inspite of what how did you land up with a 20 on Verbal ?

If you want to focus on SC, you may want to look at SC Grail 3rd edition. I think it'll give you enough practice and i read it somewhere that they have a quick recall section so that you don't forget what you have read.
