Hi,

I have scheduled my date in Nov. I have not started with RC portion. My scores in MGMAT are 580, 550. My RCS are going pathetic. I am not able to do well in this protion. I need advise that what I need to touch in order to get efficency in RCS. I have princeton Review, RC99, MGMAT RCS, OGS.

Please suggest that what I need to touch first which can raise my accuracy from 1% to 80-90%. I did Princeton review for maths and english earlier and it has really helped me to understand basics. I am still confused that what I need to do for RCS. Do Princeton review will work First, or RC99, OGs, Kaplan, etc.

I have so much of material.

Pls advise.

Please also advise that what mathelogy I need to follow. A skimming of RCs or whole RCS understanding, Mapping. I want to work with one strategdy. Pls Gmat Guns what I need to do. I am totally confused right mow.

Noone else will do it. Only I will do it. No Matter how difficult is my dream. Those who think can only achieve it.!!!

Kaplan Premier is a good one...presently i am also reading it and have completed Princeton review in the past....

Don't look for the incorrect things that you have done rather look for remedies....

Thanks bblast for the strategies. I also watched Ron's videos and I learned quite a bit about inference questions.

If other strategies don't work, one thing that has helped a couple of my students (both non-native speakers of English) see 30%+ jumps in accuracy overnight (literally) was:

1) read the first and last sentence of each paragraph first
2) go back and read the whole passage
3) tackle questions

Some people advocate skimming for the answer; I personally think that is a recipe for getting a lot of wrong answers and for finding yourself skimming and re-skimming and re-reskimming the passage as you struggle to find the answer, where a solid initial reading would allow you to go directly to it.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
