Thanks for your reply.

So do you suggest I take only GMAT PREP tests or tests from other sources like princeton and 800 score are also good?

Also I need some help with CR though I have improved a lot

Thanks

Sam


If you need practice take whatever you have.

GMAT Prep are the most valuable and realistic - will give you the best result/idea. However, they will only last for 2 tests and possibly 2 more if you reinstall (make sure you wipe out the GMATPrep folder in the Program Files.

Though I haven't given actual test yet, I would suggest you to give more full length tests. You can give GMATPrep tests again, as it randomly picks the question, even in the 2nd attempt you'll find new set of questions. Also, if time permits, may be you can try solving OG questions again (may be the tough ones only) in a timed condition.

But just 11 days to go, don't waste your time in any sub-standard tests or books, as that will have an impact on the concepts and mindset.

hi

I will suggest you to take up GMAT prep test. In the last few days, it is not advisable to take other test, which may not give you accurate results. A lot of times it leads to demotivate you. Such situations are not really good for your morale in last ten days. Practice more on the strategies and go through your OG's again.

Hello All,

When I took the real gmat exam, I scored only 23 on verbal. I had 10 mins for the last 10 questions, So I had to guess without even reading. So this time I am planning to skip one RC completely, So as to save time. Is this a stupid idea?.I will use this time to concentrate on other answers. Else ill run out of time again..Pls advice..thanks a ton..
