Before beginning with my preparation, I downloaded GMATPrep software and gave the first test (I will save second one for a week before the exam :))

I did not write essays (ideally i should have, Will be writing from the next test :)) and I know this 650(Q49/V29) therefore does not reflect the true score

I found that time in quantitative was sufficient (Data Sufficiency questions were tricky though). Got 11 wrong out of 37.

In verbal, I believe i lost mainly on Time management. I could attempt 38 questions and among those got 15 wrong. I will have to work on my VERBAL quite a lot :(.

Need your valuable suggestions to improve my verbal. I also want to work a lot on data sufficiency. Please suggest me few good websites/books for those.

I am currently working on verbal as well. I believe that the best books that you can purchase are: Powerscore Critical Reasoning Bible and either the MGMAT SC guide or Powerscore SC Bible. For reading comp, I actually really love the Veritas Prep book, but you can't purchase any of their books individually. The same goes for the Veritas Data Sufficiency Guide.
