I completed my Manhatttan Online Course recently and followed the whole program. I completed the
OG 11 questions and reviewed all my questions and revisited them couple of times. I have just started to work on the Verbal and Quant review books. Last week I took my first Gmat Prep and scored 700 ( Q:51, V:35)
My hit rates for both PS and DS are 95+ % and I usually solve the quant questions around 90 seconds.
My hit rates for the verbal section are as below:
RCGeneral 83%
Main Idea 81%
Structure 100%
Tone 4 67%
Specific 71%
Detail 75%
Inference 67%
CRAssumption 81%
Draw Conclusion 74%
Strengthen 82%
Weaken 93%
Analyze Structure 100%
Explain Event 92%
Make Inference 100%
Evaluate Conclusion 100%
Resolve Problem 75%
Provide Example 50%
Restate Conclusion 100%
Mimic Argument 100%
SC3 C's 100%
Sub/Verb Agreement 95%
Verbs 83%
Pronouns 71%
Modifiers 85%
Parallelism 81%
Comparisons 79%
Idioms 69%
Odds & Ends 75%
So my major weaknesses are:
RC Inference questions and RC Idioms. I am working on my pacing and I got Quant under control but RC takes forever for me.
I am comfortable with CR after reading the CR bible and working on
OG problems and my timing is around 105 seconds.
My SC skills are getting better. After completing the Manhattan SC guide and reading all of the
OG explanations and taking notes + flash cards, I am more confident in this section but still my hit rate is not above 90 %. I need to study more idioms.
I also practice with old paper tests and they have pretty good questions. I am done with the quant questions in Kaplan 800 and found them useful. I will continue with the verbal part of it.
I will take Manhattan # 3, 4, 5 and 6 tests and also will take GMAT Prep two rounds.
What would you recommend ? Should I just practice GMAT Prep or practice
Manhattan GMAT as well ?
What do you guys think about
GmatClub tests ? I purchased the verbal questions and havent touched them yet.
I will post a very comprehensive GMAT after my test.
Thanks!
