Re: Practice for Quants - how do I go about it? [#permalink]
Ok that sounds good. I will start working from the review book then.
What is the difficulty level of the problems in OG 13? Does it contain only the easier questions? I was thinking since these are all retired gmat questions they would cover, to some degree, all the difficulty levels.

on the go, from my mobile

The bulk of questions in OG13 are from retired paper tests and the questions used to be easier on average because there was less time, 1.25 to 1.5 minute per question so that can deceive one about the difficulty level of the real GMAT. GMATPrep is closer to the real exam. OG 13 does have some recently administered GMAT problems that are on the harder side, but overall OG13 is closer to being of average difficulty. The important part is that one needs to be able to do everything that is in OG13 before they can move on to harder problems. Based on your Q32 in the first GMATPrep test, I would say you would need to focus a lot on basics and easy/medium level problems and both OG13 and OG Quant Review would serve you well. Once you have mastered them then move on to harder concepts and problems.

Ok, wish i had known this earlier, would have helped me to plan my prep accordingly.

I did start from the MGMAT math foundation books, then worked through the strategy guides.
My first mock GMATPrep test was before this. I am planning to take the second one tomorrow, and hope there is some improvement in the score. Will be ordering Quantitative Review in the mean time...
