Just gave the test today and got a 750 (Q49, V44). While overall I am definitely happy and relieved I must admit I am a little dissapointed with the quant score. Never scored less than 50, but some stupid decisions I made during the test cost me a 50+ quant score. Here were my test scores: GMATPrep1: 760 GMATPrep2: 760 MGMAT 1: 760 MGMAT2: 750 MGMAT3:750 MGMAT4: 730 MGMAT5: 760 MGMAT6: 770 GMATPrep2 (retake): 790 Preparation: OG - First of all I personally do NOT believe that the OG is the bible. OG is just the first step and by no means will it prepare you for a 720+ score. 80% of the OG is way easier than Gmatprep and the actual test so keep that in mind. Do not built false confidence by doing well in OG. OG should be the FIRST thing you do and thats it, after that you must move on to more difficult sources. MGMAT - The best CATs by far. I would highly recommend them SCs - Manhattan SC. A lot of people swear by this as the SC bible, but once again I beg to differ. I think it is a stepping stone, but by no means is it the be all and end all of everything to do with SC. In fact the book doesnt cover a lot of the ground for the really tough SCs in GMAT, such as Ellipsis. However, this MUST be the starting point for all study in SC. The best source for SC in the last 2 weeks of prep is the GMatPrep document on this website that covers ALL of the problems posted in GmatPrep. Once you go through that you will realize that for the most difficult questions, simple parallelism, pronoun rules don't suffice. Learning about these problems is the single most important thing you can do for SC prep. CR/RC - Practice, Practice, Practice. No material to learn here, the more you practice the better you become. Finally during your practice tests, whenever you get something wrong, don't brush past it, but understand why you went wrong. Search for the problem on this forum or the Manhattan forums (highly recommended) Now onto quant. Now during the test, I felt like I was doing well in the first 15 qns of quant and got some tough DS's, but then I got a nasty DS that stuck with me through the test. I should have guessed and moved forward, but I refused to let go. I wasted about 7 mins on this and paid for it at the end by guessing the last 3-4 qns semi-blindly. Pick the battles you want to fight. I felt the verbal considerably easier than anything I had done. Every SC seemed to be water-tight and apart from a few CRs towards the end and a nasty RC at the very end, I was in control throughout. So there you go, I am done with it.. feel free to ask me any questions. GMAT Prep Docs Referenced: GMAT Prep SC GMAT Prep SCOA

Guys does anybody have a detailed explanation of the answers in the above SC document. It will be more useful to have a detailed analysis of the answer choices for each question. Thanks.

From few posts I see these 186 SC questions doc is extracted from GMAT Prep. I would prefer to test them fresh during the GMAT Prep CAT. Do you know any other collection of (harder) SC questions?

Sorry but I notice that the correct answer is already indicated in bold. How is it possible guys ?? some explanation . Thanks

Hi guys, I was just wondering how difficult this set is - is it just a compilation of the hardest gmat prep sc's? These seem quite subtle and difficult. I am getting about 70% of these right.

Thanks for the SC questions. They are quite helpful.

great score and very helpful brief. good luck with your application

sterny! Great job, i jumped on this thread because I got the exact same score as you in June. I was also a bit surprised by my lower quant score, but i can't complain since the overall was higher than I expected. I would add to the discussion that the GMAT PREP 1 and GMAT PREP 2 quant problems are the best to review from. Somewhere on this forum you can get every question (i think around 800 total for boht tests). I only did half of it and it really helped me prepare for the quant section. i imagine if i did all 800 i might have went from 49-50

i didn't find these 800 question banks. can you provide some links ?? Please

I also would like to know the whereabouts of these 800 problems.
