As of now my prep is still not up to the mark....
I started my prep 3 weeks back.
Firstly I gave GMATprep1 and scored a dismal 610....
Today I gave Kaplan 1 and got 540...
Needed some help as to how to go bout the prep....
I can spend close to 2 hrs on weekdays and 6 hrs on weekends....
I have finished Man SC and right now doing OG11....
whenever I find time I keep doing 1000 sc's and cr's......
Will this do or anything more is required.....

Folks,
I would be giving GMAT in september. Actually I have made an appointment well in advance i.e. 20th September.
During my recent preperation for everybody who is struggling with the VA section score, I would recommend ; "Princeton Review Verbal Workout". This book can be used for building fundamentals. And then you could go ahead to work on loads of questions from OG-11R and Kaplan PP etc.
Also 1000 SC is also a good collection of questions.

I anyone finds the detailed answers for 1000 SC then please let me know...

Also a very basic check for weak fundamentals is "When we read a solution for the question that we answered incorrectly, and attempt a similar question in the future we still can not mark the answer with confidence. The inherent reason is that we are not able to grasp the concept behind working such a problem. If we analyse language/grammar rules then its pretty much similar to mathematical rules EXCEPT for the fact,its just the way they are and there is neccessarily not a reason for why is it like that.If we face such an issue then do not try to memorise the solution but track down the reason behind, which is always logical. What we need to understand in a language rule is that the correct answer is the one that the initial designers of the language would have marked."


I hope all my friends who are preparing for VA will find this post helpful.

To be very honest I wanted all you experts out there to disect what I believe in. And yes critics welcome!!!


ATB to everyone!!!

Hi Pugs,

I am Nikhil and my D-Day is 8th Sept, yes thats 72 days from today and counting.

I started with my GMAT prepartion a month ago with Princeton and i not regretting my choice. Princeton is a very good book for starters and for people like me who are getting back to maths and verbal after a gap. After completing almost 80% of princeton i moved to Kaplan, and i started with RC of all the topics in Kaplan. I will tell you guys, RC here is mind boggling. It takes you on its own trip and the worse part is at the end it is difficult to undertand the structure of the passage in one reading. I knew i was doing something wrong or something before its time.

I came to these blessed forums and all the experts out here were of the opinion that Kaplan is more on the tougher side for doing verbal. For now i have given up doing RC from Kaplan and moved onto PS and DS. I am planning to give my Gmat Prep 1 on 1st July, thats exactly one month of preparation just to get a feel of where i am and which areas i should work on more. Will for sure share my scores here for people to comment on.

Strategy wise i have kept July for OG11 in depth. After completing OG i will come back to Kaplan and give the Kaplan tests. And take it from there.

Now on I will try and be an active member of this thread so that i can share my plans and hope to get few pointers where i can improve.

ATB to all the pugs appearing in the future.

Hi Prateet,

Me too cognizant, 4yrs... Currently at onsite. Planning to take GMAT in the last week of August. Will be registering next week. What else are you using for verbal? Its bad for me too. I have been trying the 800score exams and the score have just been hitting lower 30s.. Do you have any other reading materials (in softcopy...) I have the 800score exes that i can send...PM me for the email id...
