I've lurked here for a while, thought I'd post a quick note to say "Thanks!". I took the GMAT this morning and ended up with a 770! Very excited about this score... I definitely wasn't expecting something quite so high.
Practice Test Scores:
GMATPrep1: 730 (Q45, V44)
GMATPrep2: 740 (Q48, V44)
Even though I have an engineering background, I've been out of school now for almost 3 years in marketing roles. I struggled with the quantitative sections. The
Manhattan GMAT Prep guides were very useful -- I felt like they started my quant. thinking processes again.
My study materials:
1.
Manhattan GMAT Quantitative Books (All Study Problems)
2. OG11 (about 3/4 of the book)
3.
OG: Quantitative (All)
I found myself reasoning through most of the
OG problems via logic rather than using any of the nifty techniques
Manhattan GMAT preferred. Although, I do love the little tic-tac-toe grid that they recommend for overlapping sets. Totally helpful.
I tossed and turned most of the night before the exam and only ended up getting about 2 hours of sleep instead of the 8 I was hoping for. So disappointing! I was about to cancel my test and try another day... SO GLAD I didn't!
Just goes to show you that you should always be optimistic in a situation like this.
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask! Also, I've posted my books for sale in the Buy / Sell forum for $160 for everything (8
Manhattan GMAT, 3
OG, Essay book). It's a steal (way less than Amazon or Ebay). Feel free to check that out.
