Re: coming back to GMAT [#permalink]
first of all you should get familiar with each type of question.
You must distinguish the question before answering.

If you follow each and every line ditto of powescore bible you will surely improve. Revise it 2-3 times if possible.

That's too bad that you're still having some trouble with CR. One positive thing to learn from this, though, is that you have identified a GMAT weakness. This is very important, as we can all work together to help you to improve this area.

First thing to do is re-read the CR book. Hopefully you will have time to do this. Another important step is keep an error log. Each CR question that you get wrong, make a note why there was an error and what type of CR it was.

Also, every CR question that you do, whether it's correct or not, read the explanation completely. Understand why one option is correct and the others are wrong. This will reinforce the concepts that you have already learned and put you into a "GMAT mindset." It will also help somewhat to always be in a active mentality, not a passive one. Simply doing a problem and checking to see whether it's correct is simply not enough.

I have already mentioned this, but it's worth repeating: become an active member on the verbal forums! Everyday do a couple of verbal questions. Answer the questions and defend your choice with an explanation of all the choices. Trust me, this helps very much. One of the signs that you know the material is when you can teach or explain it to another.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to tell us. We want you to succeed!

Re: coming back to GMAT [#permalink]
I would actually advise to find out what exactly is your weakness.
E.g. I know my weakness is data sufficiency and also probability makes me rethink.

I always find it helpful to revise the concepts before I start.

Regarding Ebooks, I looked at 4gmat books and they were OK but didn't find them that useful. But that's just my opinion.

Edit:

Also, think you may get more response in the general forum as this is a verbal forum ? Just a suggestion. Good luck :)
