Hi, i am Iszad,

First of all, I am very much appreciated to beatthegmat for all the tips given. Not only it is realistic, but it suits well considering all limitation with daily works etc. I wil be seating my second test this 19th Jan,

FYI, my first test, I did badly wtih score of 440 (Q42 V12) with AWA of 5.5. Ok, i am screwed at verbal because i didn't pace my self.

I took 2 months to study gmat, which i used 3 reference books (as advised by beatthegmat); those referece ar OG, PR and Kaplan.

I did all the exercise in OG and mostly all exercise in Kaplan and PR.
I also timed my self for CAT exercise as below:

Kaplan (CD) - CAT1: 550 (Q50; V21)
CAT2: 540 (Q36; V23)
CAT3: 510 (Q32; V21)

PR (Online) - CAT1: 580 (Q40 V30)
CAT2: 530 (Q40; V23)
CAT 3: 550 (Q37; V28)

PowerPrep - CAT1: 680 (Q48; V35) --- not so reliable as i did it twice!

Coming soon: PR CAT4, PowerPrep2, GMATPrep1 and GMATPrep2

Appreciate if anyone, especially GMAT Instructor and experts can give me advice especially my weakest link is in CR and RC.

Thank you,
Iszad

I would be interested in studying how you prep. If you're simply reading through the references, that may not be the most optimal study strategy for you. Take a look at this post: https://www.beatthegmat.com/gmat-practic ... s-t68.html

This is a post about a study grid, but it contains some useful strategy on how to effectively approach your studies. More info like this available on the GMAT Resource Directory.

Good luck!
