hi...i think my prep was a haphazard and a hurried one....neways, i ll tell u...

i started wid giving a mock prep test....got a miserable 640...then started doing OG 11....solved comprehensively...then gave 1-2 mock tests...score improved to 680-690...then studied KAPLAN PREMIER EDITION thoroughly (this is the one where i concentrated my efforts the most)...then gave some more tests..got around 710-720... finally moved on to KAPLAN 800...(awesome book, in my opinion)..then gave a few more tests...started scoring in the range of 730... the evening before the exam, browsed thru a few sample essays....and gave the EXAM!!!!

OG 11 - 1-2 weeks (including tests etc..)
KAPLAN PREMIER - 1 week
KAPLAN 800 - 1 week...

obviously, i didnt learn much frm my mistakes (considering my scores didnt improve drastically since solving OG 11)..so i suggest u sit down and browse thru all the problems tht u got wrong (which is what i plan to do in my next attempt)...

if u want any study material, pm me ur email id and i ll email the stuff to u...

umm...dude, i think u are trying to ask whether i have an attached CD with the kaplan premier book...YES i did get a free CD with it....it had 4 sectional tests each in SC,CR and PS and 4 full length mock tests...the tests were pretty good in terms of level of difficulty..a must solve CD!!!

[paki]

Ok but it is possible to share that CD?
Another thing, it will be great if you could share your summary of Kpl Premiere strategies for the exam. I can send you my summary of Princenton´ strategies, such as using POE, etc. tks in advance

umm...i ll try to share that CD dude...cuz my net speed sux big time!! so lemme see if i can upload it this weekend...else, if u r in mumbai, i can burn a copy for u and giv it to u... as far as strategies go, i simply sat down and solved all the problems for kaplan premier...actually, i wud suggest u to read each and every part of the theory mentioned such as "diff. types of errors in SC/CR etc.." cuz they will really help u in eliminating options....thts it...wat more do u want me to write?? suggest...

The idea is as I haven´t bought KPremiere share the strategies of that book for Math (for example, if the answers are in fractions, percentages or variables suggests using plug in or picking numbers, etc.) and Verbal. I have the strategies of Princenton to share.
