Economist gmat study prep

[sgutala]

My question is can i solely rely on the economist gmat software and expect to get a good score (680+?). or do i need to supplement it with other resources (please suggest). I looked at manhattan self study course, but i kind of like the economist approach that lets me work on the computer in a more adaptive way. It is only 3 days since i started prepping, so i'm flexible about my study plans and as such.


I've a decent background in math and analytics as i did B.S. and M.S. in computer science and also took GRE in which i was pretty decent (95% in analytics and around 85% in math). But verbal was sub-par, which i hope to make amends now. But this was almost 12 years ago and i can feel the rustiness when i go through the concepts.


Suggestions are welcome.

Regards.

Before you do anything else, I suggest that you take an official practice test: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx
Who knows, it may be the case that you're already scoring above (or close to) your target score.
The results of that practice test will help shape your preparation.

Cheers,
Brent

I have enrolled in the economist course too and I am nearly at the end. My only qualm is that I feel the scores I am getting on the simulation tests are a bit inflated (680, 720, 740). I found SC and DS a bit too easy.

But, since you just started I would definitely recommend you go through the course especially since you feel a bit rusty. I did like the course overall but I am supplementing other resources. Make sure you take notes.

Btw their customer service is exemplary. Use your 1 on 1 sessions wisely.

Hope that helps.
