thanks for the advise.... I did see some questions 5-6 in the GMAT Prep Tests, but I don't think it could really skew the scores... anyway ...

I am ready to buy more materials if required.. thinking about the Kaplan Verbal Workout ... and mayb the Kaplan800.. for the tough questions ...

Hi,

The last test was GMATPrep ...

My prep was something like this, started with the Princeton and finished the book in 5 days.... I completed the exercises at the back of the book. Then I moved to the OG Supplement books starting with Quant .... PS and DS. Simulataneously.. used to alternate with the Verbal Supplement for RC and SC. While doing SC, I used to do a chapter from the Manhattan SC and then do the questions in the Verbal Review for tht chapter... set of questions are given at the end of each chapter in the Manhattan book. Took GMATPrep1 at that time and landed with a 670. Again Verbal was the let down. Started working on the CR s also... did not apply any specific strategy ... but found i was making too many mistakes and slowed down while solving the questions.... I am not sure how effective that turned out to be ...

After finished both the guides with about a month to go before the test .. I took the OG 11, started doing RC / DS on one day and PS / CR / SC on the other day .. alternated like this for about 2 weeks .. after each set of 10 questions .. used to check the key and the answer explanations..... Took more tests in between Princeton and the older PowerPrep. .... scores were between 650 and 700 .... mostly with the verbal howering around 35 - 38 ...

I had the Kaplan ... but I did not take it very seriously ... just went thro the exercises... with around 2 weeks to go .. i reviewed the OG Supplements and the OG 11 for all the mistakes ..... then made markings of important questions ... and went thro them again 2 days before test day ....

Even on test day .. i got a bold face as my 6th question .. so i was pretty excited to know that i was more or less on the rite track .. dunno what went wrong after that ...

Please advise.. I am giving GMAT again ... after 2 months ... so I need to hit the books rite away .. am taking a break for a week now and plan to hit the books again by next week.. this time I am starting with Kaplan ..also planning to get the Kaplan Verbal Supplement and mayb a copy of the Kaplan800.. or something ...
Also I am lining up around 8 tests... including the GMAT Prep . ....

Hey,

Got my AWA Scores yesterday .....was happy to see that atleast I had done well on that... got 5.5 .......... :satisfie:
Atleast it s something to take home from the Test ......

Adios

Hey PUYS,

Gave my GMAT Yesterday, I got only a 610.. To tell the truth .. it was a bit unexpected.... was scoring consistently in the 700 / 720 range in the Prep Tests. Gave the PowerPrep 2 a day before the test and landed up a 710 ... Not sure what went wrong on Test Day ... Maybe a bad hair day ... !!!!!

In retrospect... I probably assumed that I would do well in Verbal ... not that it s been my forte, but the prep tests never really gave me much of a reason to worry about as it always around the 36/37 mark..... Even on Test Day ... felt I was on track in the verbal section .. I knew I had faltered a bit on the Quant ... so the Q 47 was expected !!!!

I am planning to give the GMAT Again .. not that I have other options. Probable a bigger mistake was ignoring the Kaplan even though I had the material with me ... I did the Princeton, OG 11 and the OG Supplements for Verbal and Quant.

Now... I need advice from the PG GMAT Guru s on what to do !! and how I should go about my prep ... I have been following PG for a while now and picked whatever info about GMAT from PG.

Please suggest & advise on materials, prep methods and anything else that i need to do. I am planning to give the GMAT in another 5-6 weeks ... as I have already been preparing for 2 months before I lose the tempo ....

Thanks
