New to the forum..need help on re-taking the test!!!!!!!

No need if you have OG 12. If you are in need of additional practice material, check out GMATPrep pack1 - it has got 400 new questions whereas OG13 has less than that. For IR you need to know what type of questions are asked. Sample problems available in mba.com are suffice. You can spend the last two days before your test day for IR, till then you need not bother about IR.

New version is available, but as said by above expert not all are new questions.

Next to MGMAT, veritas, kaplan and knewton are all at same level. You can go for any one of them.

Wow..that was some precise explanation given.

Thanks a ton buddy..this has answered my questions.

Also, wanted to ask, the GMAT Prep Pack 1, this is the same GMAT prep which is available on MBA.com you talking about right?

Aiming to nail it this time

GMAT prep is the free software provided by mba.com for anyone who has registered for the test. What I mentioned is GMAT Prep Question pack 1. See the details in the below link.

Use this if you have exhausted all the resources, OG 12 is suffice and you can repeat the problems any number of times. I am going for a retake and still using the OG, haven't bought the question pack yet. Even if you know the right answer, try to find all the errors in wrong options for SC/different methods to solve a single PS/DS problem - there are always better methods. Search in forums or post questions and learn from them. For RC and CR - you don't need to solve them again and again. Make sure you have some general rules to approach each question type. The rules should be something like general prephrasing to what you are expecting from the answer choice. You shouldn't group any answer choice, but you should know what type of right answer to expect. Say for weaken questions it should break down the conclusion, for RC inference question the answer choice will be a direct restatement from the passage something like that. Don't delve too much into the details of each question type as given in power score CR such as shell game answers/opposite answers etc - this is very detrimental as there are innumerable possibilities of right answer choices and you cannot find a group for every wrong answer, instead you should focus on what a generic pattern of right answers as said above. So once you get the right strategy, practice few times and get used to the pattern or strategy, then you don't need to work on regularly. New resources would be useful only if you are still learning.

The gmat prep pack 1 tip was very helpful for me too; thank you!
