Thanks for everybody's wishes...

I didn't take the gmatprep because during practice i had seen most of the gmat prep questions. In my previous attempt too I had practised from gmatprep so I wasn't too keen on taking a repeat and getting inflated scores. The only practice material that I had not used earlier was from the MGMAT CAT's so I took 'em...

I must say there is a great dearth of good practice materials for GMAT notwithstanding so many materials on the web. And the really good ones are pretty expensive...

I practised the cat exams from MGMAT 6 test series. Also actively participated in gmat club forums.

Congrats dwivedys,

I am sure it must feel nice. Some things come a little later. (But the race is always with yourself).

Have you prepared any flash cards that you would be willing to share with us?

you said: the math section seemed a cakewalk

How would you compare it with the questions in the OGs? (For some reason I am unable to move beyond Q44 in the MGMAT tests). Any tips/suggestions?

As I mentioned in my post - I had found the mgmat math to be much more tough than the actual test (at least in my case). And if this is of any help or consolation - in all my practice tests on MGMAT I had scored around 43-44 (barring one or two tests).

As far as OG is concerned - I found the actual test to be a bit tougher than OG. Only a few questions in OG Math are truly difficult. Please practice from the gmat club questions. Also on the actual gmat math - i found that many questions were downright tricky. Meaning - they would entice you to pick up the wrong choice. I cannot demonstrate the types but I am sure you get the idea. If one is not careful enough one would pick an obvious choice but which would be wrong. So - my suggestion is that be very careful on the actual test.

And finally - there is no substitute to practicing. Good Luck...

What I meant by tricky is - if you don't pay close enough attention - you will likely pick a wrong choice. for example - you are asked to evaluate an algebraic equation with 2 variables say X and Y. The question is asking for the value of Y but it will be easier to calculate the value of X. And of course the value of X will be the very first choice so you would be likely to pick it up even more ... espeically under time constraints.

I hope you get the idea.
