Raghu,

In addition to OG(Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition), GMAC has come up with 2 more books this time -
The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal ReviewThe Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review

OG is must. For the other 2, you need to take a call. All of them have retired GMAT questions.

Yeah! Time for action now. So guyz gear up and share your action plans. How have you started the preparation? What books to begin with? I have picked up a copy of Kaplan GMAT and planning to start with it over weekend.

I have been cribbing abt not finding time and the works ... and the situ. hasnt changed much. But I did get the wheel rolling this week ... Have begun by reviewing the basics of QA ... which I am horrible at ... yes sir ... I am an engg. who sucks at Math. And I feel that any person who is not that good at QA must begun here. There are a lot of re-discoveries that you will make.

After hitting that off ... its off to the practice problems ... first the problem solving part then the DS.

Hi All,
Just gave KAPLAN's online diagnostic Test. The scores:

Scaled Score Percentage Below
Overall : 630 90
Quantitative : 42 88
Verbal : 33 70

Can sumbdy help me out in an analyis? I mean, Can junta post their scores for Kaplan Diagnostic Test for a compartive analysis? I'm a bit worried as 630 is a low score.. .

Hi Puys,

Good to see this thread.

I am taking GMAT in this April.
Work Ex - 2.5 yrs in IT

I started prep just a week before. I went to the Princeton office in Begumpet. Talked to them and they are ready to give me 20% discount. But then it still costs more I thought and didn't join.
I took the Princetonreview online test (free) in their center and got a score of 660. (QA - 50, VA - 30) I am not very sure of how good this score is. But I know the area I have to work upon is VA. I found Scoretop as a excellent site for prep. And planning to take VIP membership in a day or two in Scoretop.

Have any of u guys tried the 1000SCs yet...I have solved 50 of them. Didn't check the answers though. It will be good if we can get the correct explanations for those qns. If people here want to discuss on the GMAT qns then we can start a yahoo group or drop our qns here.

What say???

FYI( if U already donot abt it).. Kaplan's test is avbl only for those who buy the book.. and once U register onto their website kaptest.com.. in 2-3 days, ur free courses will be shown.. U just have to register to access it.
