HI

I also gave my Gmat a couple of days back( 19thMay to be exact) got a 690:-| ( Q-48 and V-36) and 5.5/6 in AWA..although not a very great score considering the fact that i belong to the dreaded group of IT with 2 years exp ( 3 by next year ) , however i feel my exp may help some of fellow puys to crack the GMAT.......... i started my preparations at around March'08 ( so that makes it around 2 months of prep time).

Well i went thru the ususal stuff .... like OG, Kaplan, 1000 SC and stuff like that ....... But there are a few must read things i would really like to suggest to anyone who is preparing for GMAT.....Specially for the Verbal section as this is the most feared section in GMAT.....

1. Do go thru Manhattan's Guide to Sentence correction .... It's a bible for cracking SC.

2. Try getting your hands on some LSAT material for CRs ( LSAT CRs are a bit more tough than GMAT CRs) ... solving them would give you enough confidence to crack the GMAT CRs...

3. Concentrate on RC's .. don't just leave them for the end.... and keep in mind that there will be atleast one RC in the actual GMAT that will be really difficult to comprehend so keep your mind open all the time...the best way to avoid this is to practice as much as you can of sitting for long hours....As Gmat is very much a test of Patience as it is of your skills in problem solving.

If you need any tips for Quants section do post a reply ... else i would suggest any good book for quants is enough ......

Please give me some tips foe AWS since your score is gr8 !

I gave my GMAT yesterday and got an okish score of 690 (Q 48 V 35) I was happy with the scores and will not probably give GMAT anymore ..
Let me know if you have any queries and I will try to answer them as best as I can
Good Luck to all,

Gr8 BuddY

Hi ,

I am preparing for GMAT.
I have taken a GMAT exam today from 800score.
Quant I am ok .
But verbal I am getting very low score like 20 from 41.
Also I am feeling that time is not sufficient at all.
RC is taking a lot of time especially reading the comprehension.

Is it a better to attend the reading comprehension questions first carefully
(especially first 6 questions)

Then skip the rest of the RC question by guessing .
And attend the CR and SC .

Can u plz advice how to improve the verbal score.
Also can u suggest me any GMAT practice tests which I can practice.

Thanks!
I also face the same problem
Please advice when you find the formulae of success.
