why don't you take some practice gmat tests....they have CR questions too and you'll get better feedback as to how your success relates to your score.

Are you sure you're "done" with them? Can you explain why every single right answer is right AND every single wrong answer is wrong? Do you have a "takeaway" or rule from every problem that you can apply to future problems? Could you do the problem again tomorrow, get it right, AND explain why?

Until then, I'd continue practicing out of the materials you already have. The biggest mistake students make is not putting in the time to do this type of analysis.

Thanks for the advice Jim

I took the Gmat about a month ago( did not do so good). Now, on my practice tests i am falling around 610-620. What do you recommend i do, cause i want to get around 700 on the actual exam. I plan to take the exam in about one months time.

Well, without some more specific info, the best answer I can give is: study!

Use the type of analysis I discussed above. There really is no magic secret to doing well on the GMAT. It pretty much boils down to effective studying.

Sophia,
When u say OG are u done with OG 11 and OG10? If not I would definitely get the OG10 Verbal guide for additional practice.

Just a friendly suggestion.

Regards,
Cramya

Cramya

I am using the OG 11. Are you saying that OG 10 has different problems... i thought both were the same.
I am also using the Verbal review, I have done the CR in this book too.
I don't know whether its helpful to do redo the problems cause most of the times i remember the answer to the questions.

thanks for the suggestions

sophia
