hi green boy,
regarding your query on the quant book...i'll suggest that go through the mock paper's QA sections...of IMS and CL...(coz TIME u have already seen)
i don't think any book matches the quality of questions as are there in the mocks...
rest you are even more experienced than me...its ur take...

yeah CR means critical reasoning.
books are available though they r copy right protected so u can get them through pirated sites.

Here I cant provide u the link as its against forum policy.

alternatively u can search for GMAT official guide in esnips.com

Kaplan however wont b avail most probably on net . This book is costly so if u can lay hands on second hand book or get jst VA section xeroxed that would be great!
the concepts given r pretty good and for every question they have told y others r not the answers and y that particular answer is right.


@ALL PM me ur ids for all the sites n right-to-copy materials

@friends
i wud like 2 share sum of my experiences from CAT 2007 in this thread...
lemme introduce myself...i am a commerce grad from st. xavier's col, kolkata...also doing cfa...
i took classroom coaching from IMS. Solved all da materials in a very short span of time.
aftr tht i simply got into solving quant from ARUN SHARMA...i wud say its a nice and complete book...whr 1 shud solve da (Level of Difficulty) LOD I & II...LOD III solving is not reqd and hence pointless.
As time passed by, i realised tht i ws gud in quant, gud in di (i basically just had probs in data sufficiency) but was struggling really really hard wid da verbal section. Hence i also purchased da Arun Sharma book on verbal; not to much use since da standard was pretty low. So i decided 2 simply shift my focus 2 da mocks of previous yr given 2 me by my seniors. These were of quite good help. I also used 2 regularly solve DI from da mock papers only coz good standard caselets were thr in papers only.
Thn strtd da mock season...for this i enrolled myself in TIME. I must say tht TIME's mock series in damn gud n covers all types of questions in all papers. Different formats, different levels of difficulty...all superb...its very important tht 1 analyses each paper very well...more imp than giving da exam is doing da analysis...1 shud spend at least 5-6 hrs 2 analyse each paper...try 2 do 2 papers every week...n start this schedule from mid july...so tht by da time u sit for da CAT in nov, u wud have already solved arnd 25-30 papers which is more than enuf...leave da rest 2 destiny...

N.B. - Its most imp tht no1 shud lose patience even if aftr constant hard work, results r not coming... CAT really tests ur patience 2 da max...so get tested n crack it...both da PATIENCE & da CAT!!!

ATB 2 all CAT takers 2008!!!


TAPMI!!!!

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
