wat material did u use for verbal and Quant?? wat wud u suggest for verbal??
Hi Sanjoo,
Thank you!
Regarding the material I used, for both quant and verbal, I relied majorly on the
OG. Make sure you are thorough with the
OG first before you look at other material.
Also, I did look up interesting looking questions on this forum. I used to randomly but regularly sift through stuff on the general forums without actually concentrating on any particular topic. Additionally, I wouldn't suggest the extra hard questions like devil's dozen and stuff. I personally have very average math skills and I decided that I won't look at these for two reasons. First, it can be very demoralizing and second, you aren't going to encounter such hard questions on the actual GMAT. Another reason I adopted this strategy was because I didn't have too much time on my hands.
As far as verbal goes, again finish stuff from the
OG first.
For RC, try and do at least one or two RC's a day. And make sure you pick RC's on topics that you are NOT interested in! That really helps because you learn how to clench your teeth and concentrate! (This will really help you on test day! I got some really REALLY dry topics!) Try and look at RC's posted by 'legendaddy' on this forum.
For CR, I did have the powerscore bible but didn't use it because of a shortage of time. Same was the case with SC for which I did have the Manhattan sentence book but didn't go beyond 3 chapters! The strategy that helped me the most was practice, practice and more practice. Also, when you do get a question wrong, try and understand the explanation PERFECTLY so that you know what to do when you encounter such a question again.
One of the other things I did was that in the last week before the test, I worked ONLY with the
OG and GMATPrep and ABSOLUTELY nothing else. I did this in order to condition my mind to the Official pattern. Also, just one day before my test I did not look at ANY stuff. I used the whole day to relax and I think that really helped.
I hope this helps and wish you success!
