Hey guys,

Yes the diff is crazy. First time I didn't prep much of quant. 2nd time I should have nailed the GMAT,however got really anxious in the last 20min of verbal. Extremell testy. 3rd time I held my nerve.

I'm in a similiar situation and will be taking the GMAT in 2 weeks and I hear that the new GMAT focus tests which cost about $65 a set of three are well woth the investment and have helped others boost their scores.

Hope this helps and good luck to you!

I found that Manhattan GMAT books are the best for Quant. I went from 36 to 47 in Quant because of Manhattan GMAT.

I found probability and combinatorics to be better in Princeton Review thatn in Manhattan GMAT. However, tbis may be just a personal preference.
