You never know what new way of looking at solving a particular type of problem you may come up with. PS and DS boost...

One question. I have my gmat coming in 1 month. Have been prepping for last 3 months and scored a 680 in a practice CAT yesterday. Any ideas how can i push it to 750? Analysis is the key. The more you analyze and keep in mind that you dont have to fall in the same pits, the better you'll become. Al...

Yep. But i believe it's really important to focus on analysis instead of doing too many tests. somehow we want to do more and analyze less. very natural human tendencysameerk17 wrote:gmac is providing many other tests. gmac store sells 2 more tests and paper tests.

I'd say that 4-5 weeks before the GMAT should be a good starting point for taking full length tests.3 weeks maybe a little on the tighter side. I've taken 4 CATs so far and planning to take 6 more in the last 2 weeks. Should this be sufficient? I m spending a great time in analyzing the tests and s...

RC is all about practice. I did OG13 and Aristotle RCs and I think i did a total of around 60-70 passages. This doesn't include the ones i did during the practice tests. So i think practice works in RC. Functions questions are not very difficult- ask yourself "Why" and for inference quest...

Totally agree. MGMAT tests are totally worth it.CarlosP wrote:
6-7 more should be enough but make sure that you spend 5-6 hours post each exam to analyze the test. manhattan tests especially have very good analysis section. do utilize that fully

Hi Ashok So would buying the entire 8 guide set of Manhattan be worthwhile or should one purchase only the quant books?? I heard good things about their SC and RC books and probably for CR I can purchase powerscore bible if required. Is this a descent combination to have at one's disposal?? Also wh...

For quant, i found manhattan books to be solid.for verbal, aristotle books are sol...

I liked CR Grail more. Its more on the lines of the GMAT. CR bible is too lengthy and is also not updated. Cool. Where do I practice more questions from ? I'm done practicing all the questions from CR Grail ? If you are done both with the OG and CR Grail, you would want to firstly revisit all the q...
