It was the Powerscore CR Bible book that I got my hands on about 10 days before my test. I ignored it early on as I was sort of comfortable on CR during the initial days of my prep and it gave me a false sense of security. When I did go through this book, I realised it would have helped me greatly had I used it as one of the pillars for my prep from the word go. But it did make a difference even in those 10 days before my test. A must!

This is one of the best debriefs. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The tip on taking the GMAT PREP CAT's in the library is one I plan to make use of.

Hi,

Thanks for various suggestions.

My question to you is whether you've taken the Knewton GMAT prep course? and if you did, would you recommend it.

I am also a non-native speaker. I took GMAT last year and scored terribly (below 400). I am studying really hard this time around, but focusing mainly on the Maths part. I am planning on taking it at October end.

What advice would you have for someone like myself?

Thanks, and will try to follow some of your advice that you've suggested. I don't have enough time to follow everything that you've resommended.

Regards
