Hey Shishir,

I happened to have caught hold of Manhattan's SC book...Its really very good and covers all basics.Thanks mate for the suggestion.

Its my turn now... I have taken up Princeton Review and there they have a warm up test, the results of which indicat which bin of questions you should pick up for more practice. ( They have divided questions based on difficulty instead of type of questions which is really good). The quant questions in the BIN 2 and 3 are really good unlike Kaplan which I felt was relatively easier. May be you could also have a go at these two BINS. Havent worked on the Verbal till now, so am not in a position to comment. May be later in the week I ll pass on feedback regarding that too..

The first time i did OG, i had an avg accuracy in SC and CR. But second time, i had good accuracy which gave me the required confidence to start with Kaplan 800.

Kaplan 800- the most imp book which i found during my prep. It really helped me improve my SC performace and accuracy. But its only useful if you are already doing averge. I mean if you are scoring 700 in mocks then only you should start with this book, because this book will certanly help you in taking your score from 700 to 750. But this book won't help you in reaching 700 from 650. So its important to know when you have to start with this book. I had a good accuracy in Kaplan 800 which really gave me more confidence.

After Kaplan 800, to shck my accuracy on real questions i started on Official Verbal Review, and had good accuracy except in SC where my accuracy was 79 % this time. Revised OG and Kaplan 800 and practiced some of 1000 SC collection to improve my performance.

Meanwhile i was giving tests regualry in July and August.

Order in which i gave tests:-

Kaplan 1 - 630
Kaplan 2- 670
Kaplan 3- 660

Powerprep 1 - 730

Kaplan 4- 660

Pwerprep2 - 750

GMATprep1 ( 3 weeks before GMAT) - 760(50, 42)
GMATPprep2 - 750 ( 50, 41)

GMATPrep1 ( re-installed) - 750 - some of questions were ssame
GMATPrep2 -2 days before the GMAT - all questions different - 770 ( 50, 45)

Hey Ankush,
I wanted to thank you for all writing this post. It was a great motivator for me to get off my ass and start studying a little harder for the GMAT. I ended up a 760 and I appreciate all the work that you and other regulars at PG are doing.
