How you assimilate the knowledge available via these online courses or books or gmatclub forum itself and convert that into a Structured thinking process with an eye for recognizing 'patterns' .
This is very valuable advice. I am starting to re-prepare for GMAT. I believe this structured thinking process is something that was missing in my first attempt. Or in my case, perhaps both knowledge and thinking:(.
Need to go a long way in both quant and verbal.
I can suggest a few things based on gmatclub experiences. For Quant there are two things:
First, if your already good with Maths, then all u need is practice and just more tough questions to raise your bar to Q50 or Q51 score. But if you are not, then i would strongly suggest two things, instead of getting lost in various maths books that assure to improve, go for
GMAT Club Tests, initially i did not have a clue as it seemed so tough, but as i kept on attempting and carefully examining the solutions, i realized myself becoming better than before and tons of testimonies on gmat club give credit to
gmat club tests. U don't have to get bough down by the difficulty level, as u proceed you will get comfortable.
Second, follow BUNUEL on gmatclub, he is a maths magician. His resources, his solutions (also creator of
gmat club tests) are brilliant.
For Verbal, SC, pick up
Manhattan gmat, and rigorously read it and eventually you'll get there. It has links to corresponding SC questions in
OG for practice.
And if you prefer a rather Audio-visual medium, then You can go for
e-gmat or
magoosh, both are equally good, like i said, how you pick up their imparted knowledge and apply is the key.
CR and RC, well if i was good at them, then by now i would have been off gmatclub with a decent score already but iam still working on them so can't really suggest much on that.
All the best for your prep.
