Hey Guys...

What are the things that you can take inside the exam hall?

Also, can we take a list of programs (on a paper) that I can submit?

Thank you,
Asish

Hi Puys,

Except for PowerPrep and GMAT Prep tests, what all tests should be given?
There are so many available - like Kaplan, Manhattan etc.

Which ones come close to the real GMAT?

B

I think Manhattan provides real close test for GMAT after GMATPrep. Their Quant is bit tough than of actual GMAT but still its worth taking.
They provide a package of 6 online tests.

If you are looking for strategies, I've heard Manhattan's CR book is good but I am not very sure. For practice, you can start with OG, in that way you'll come to know as what should be your line of thinking for attempting CRs.
You can also try Kaplan Premier, that too has some good strategies.

powerscore's cr bible is good... but only if u have ample time... it distributes cr qns into various categories.. nd each chapter focuses on how to attempt each qn type...

if u r at an advanced stage... read the 7 common cr question types (survey, statistics, paradox, odd man out etc) from kaplan 800.

Took GMAT yesterday 12th Oct 08
Quant 49
Verbal 40

Total 720

Slightly disappointed as the two mocks that i took from the gmat prep offical software i crossed 750 once.

Verbal should have been a lot better. even a 42-43 would have seen me cross 750.

Found sentence correction the trickiest. Thought i did very well in quant but got only 49 and not 51 so may have made silly errors.

Prepared only from the offcial guide. 1 week of preparation as i'm off job now.

I hope i do much better than my mock scores as far as CAT is concerned.
