Hey AK, thanks
Yeah, stick to
OG, plus some other stuff. Kaplan, McGraw, etc are all useless I find. What I'm doing is just doing the questions, 20-30 at a time, and seeing what my 'hit' rate is, so to say. I'm aiming for 95% in everything except RC =P You can't really study for RC, and you're always bound to get some wrong. I just keep in mind some dumb rules I've come across:
- Pick the 'medium' choice, if a passage seems to be harshly critical, GMAT would want you to say it 'disapproves' of the passage instead of saying that it 'scourns' the passage etc.
- Anything about minorities, women, etc is always positive
I think it was in McGraw Hill, haha, I found that funny. They said that GMAT got in crap for being racist, so now they always portray lots of minority passages with super positive tones =P
- If you get a highly scientific passage you're SOOL. Like the ones with 50 different scientific names and it all relates them together etc...... yah..... that's just called guessing
But yeah I did some verbal studying today, going to do some math tomorrow (it's always good to switch it up, otherwise you get used to thinking with one side of the brain, and when you go to switch over you find you do terrible haha).
Anyways I did:
OG10
Questions 61 to 150 in SC, got 82/90 right, 91%. I got 24/30 on the first few, but I did those 30 in 23 minutes, and I would have gotten only 3 wrong if I took my time. The other 60 I got 2 wrong, so 97%. I saw about 5 repeats I think; but again, most of the time I forget the answers to the repeats so I have to reanswer them anyways.
CR, questions 51-97, 47 in total, got.... 1 wrong
so 98% :D
Anyways going to finish off OG10, then do OG11 in Poland, then go write the beast. I'm getting more comfortable with Verbal, I don't really think about answers, and I'm 95% confident of my answers now-- which correlates pretty well hah.
I cut down on the drinking a bit.... its tough but ya... smoking on the other hand, that's another story...
