Hi guys,
Thought I'd post something that may help people in the same boat as myself - native English speaker, with a proficiency for verbal.
I've been in the workforce for about 7 years post-undergrad, did a mix of political science, international studies, and economics - nothing too heavy math focused or anything.
The last time I did algebra and geometry was in high school, and I actually failed that class!
The only study material I used was Magoosh and the official CATs - I paid extra for the "Exam Pack 1", so I did 4 CATs in total.
Magoosh helped me with the fundamentals of math - I actually learned things that I did not know in high school, and this helped me on the GMAT - they also email you responses to your questions, which is pretty cool, as I was fairly confused a lot of the time on the math part.
My scores on the CATs were 590, 660, 590, and 610. I scored 650 on the actual GMAT.
I am a native English speaker, wasn't born in NA, but really - I grew up here and read a lot of novels as a kid, enjoyed fantasy novels that were well beyond my grade-level, and this I think was the biggest edge I had on the GMAT.
I just "knew" when things sounded wrong, played it by ear - did very little actual "study" for the verbal section.
33rd percentile in Math and 96 in verbal, with a 6 in AWA.
So for people in my situation - who are native speakers, maybe like to read a few books - don't sweat the GMAT as much. Just go in relaxed, do what you have to do, verbal will help boost your score. For non-native speakers - READ BOOKS!
FWIW, I needed a 550 to get into my MBA program, so now I'm starting in 3 months.
