I really admire you, acfuture. I can remember, you have PMed me a few times. Well if it helps, next time you write, have a good strategy in place.
In my experience, coming to this site, from the 1st day of preparation, is very intimidating. You keep trying out all the difficult questions posted here for both Verbal and Quant without getting your roots steady.
What I can suggest is, give yourself about two months time atleast.
This is how I spaced myself
1) Verbal: First go thru SC from
MGMAT. This takes you through
OG. I did this about 3 times, and each time, I was learning something new.
2) For RC, I followed Nandan's tips which is in sticky posted by good old Vivek. Apply that in
OG
3) For CR, I best loved the Princeton Strategy. Apply that for
OG questions.
Now when you are done with
OG, start going through the CR/SC/RC 1000 documents slowly participating in the club now, as you have got a hang of it !! Again, never be happy that you have got a question right. Always reason in your head what was wrong with the others. If you are not able to figure out, get help from the club
Keep doing a few questions everyday even with your Math prep
Now Math: I liked the Princeton strategy for this again. I went thru all the Princeton questions, and then the
Og questions. Once that was done, I started participating in the forum for Math.
My Math has not been really bad, so I have not had to struggle with the Basics. But if you have aproblem with your basics, get that sorted out first before venturing out to solve difficult problems.
please let me know if you require any help.
