Oh Hell Yeah

Has the CD-Rom been helpful? Is it the one that sells for $40 on their website?

I'm pretty sure its the same one as they sell on their website. The test is good for giving you a feel of how the CAT will be in an actual testing scenario. It also gives you info on how many questions you got right in each particular category (PS,DS,CR,SC,RC) in each difficulty level (i think they go in easy, moderate, intermediate, difficult, and very difficult).

My main complaint on the program was that I found 6 or 7 errors in 5 exams. 3 such errors were: (1) the explanation of an answer was for a completely different question, (2) I marked the second choice and it marked it incorrect while the explanation said that the second choice was correct, (3) their answer for a DS question was flat out wrong.

So if you buy the software, I think it'll help (I don't know how good it is compared to other companies' software) but read the explanations of the right answers carefully and be wary of errors.

I thought the course materials for MGMAT were very good and went well with the course structure. It also complemented the OG10 very well. They are also available on the MGMAT website.

Thanks for ur valuable comments. And also congrats.
What you have to say regarding Preparation for SC section. Is MGMAT material for SC good? I think they sell specific book for preparing for SC section.
Any more insights about subtle things in RC and CR section which makes the difference between a 35 -36 and 40+ verbal score?
regards

Thank you. At least you didn't emberrass me and say you spent a week

Here is the link to the ESTIMATOR.
Check it if it gets your score more or less right It gets mind within 7 points and I think Praet is within a few points as well, but if somebody is more than 25 points off, please let me know.

The SC book was decent...It is definitely their most comprehensive book. I think the classroom learning helped me more than the book did for SC. It does have a neat little section in the back where it has a chart of every SC question in the OG10, the grammatical rule(s) they relate to, and what is wrong in each area.

I think MGMAT's most useful book was the number properties one. Number properties was definitely huge in the test I took and the book gives more than just tricks. It tells you the mathematical reason why the tricks work, so if you forget the trick, you can easily figure it out using principles.

For CR, I think identifying the conclusion is one of the most important steps in getting the question right. In many strengthen/weaken questions the correct answer is only thing that relates to the conclusion, while the incorrect answers will relate only to premises.

For RC, my strategy (which may not work for everyone) is to glance at the question, read the passage once in its entirety (I try to pretend that I'm actually interested in what it has to say) One major mistake I used to make was trying to understand everything in the passage. If I found I glanced over one sentence, I would go back 2 sentences and read them over. I learned to just move on if you just miss a sentence or so. You should then generally have an idea of what the passage is about and what each paragraph is about. That will make it easier to scan the passage for answers.
