In VA like all of us know,we are tested on various factors like our comprehension,semantics,grammar,logic etc.

For Semantics :"Word power made easy"--norman lewis...all of 95 bucks...u can finish it within a month or two...really usefull..(have seen most of my friends including pepl from iim-a,b nd c use it)

For Comprehension/RC : there is a book again by norman lewis (Na...i dont get commsions:happy which is meant to improve your reading speed but has a lot of excercises..

Grammar: havent seen anything other than Wren and Martin...

But if ur going to a cooaching institute(time,ims or cl) they will have enough materials for VA... still "word power made easy" will be a good buy..

There's a book by Arun Sharma for VA and RC, and it's pretty comprehensive too. It's not in the same league as GMAT books, but I'd say I give it 3.5/5.

Some sections, especially RCs and sentence correction are good.

Hi,

This is for those who need info about IMS' free SimCat on 18th May, 2008.
I am not working in an IMS mouthpiece. however, let me share this with no profit intended.

The SimCATs simulate the environment and the pressure that is associated with the CAT. With 16 SimCATs, IMS will not only help you double your preparation but will also help you kick off your preparation early. Preview the CAT and get your personalised SWOT analysis.

Key Features:

130+ test centers
50000+ student base
Real Simulation...
16 SimCATs with national ranking
15 Additional comprehensive tests for extra practice
In depth online feedback & Workshop based feedback
Intensive & powerpacked Achievers’ Workshop to convert your IIM call.

You can register online on www.imsindia.com or walk in to the nearest centre. You can also visit IMS South Campus centre at 37, 1st Floor, Satya Niketan, Opp. Sri Venkateshwara College or call on 011-26883411/12/13 for any queries.
