broall and
GMATNinja are answering my questions. This is the closest I could get to requesting Cinderella's fairy godmother to give me a ticket to 700 on the GMAT
LOL! I'm honored to be compared to a fairy godmother! (And I think there's a Halloween costume opportunity in here somewhere...?)

GMATNinja- sir, I am following your advice on mixing
OG questions with LSATs to get decent practice. As per your suggestion, I would be jumping into LSAT questions and graduating to CR questions. Would you suggest some kind of pattern/ plan as do some 100 LSAT questions and then go to
OG questions etc.
Many thanks for your guidance.
Good question. My favorite thing about the LSAT is that every set of 25 questions is basically the same in terms of difficulty, so if your results are stable on them, it tells us that you've reached some sort of plateau -- and also that you're being consistent in your approach, and that last part is definitely a good thing. We generally have our private tutoring students focus on LSATs first, and then we'll switch them over to the GMAT once their LSAT results reach a nice, consistent level that everybody is happy with. And at that stage, we'll start mixing in some GMAT questions, along with official GMAT practice tests (including the "
fake tests").
That's obviously not the only way to do things, though. (And in most cases, our students have already exhausted huge swaths of the official GMAT materials before they start tutoring, so we usually have to give them an LSAT-centric diet in the beginning. And that's not necessarily the case for a lot of people reading this.) If you want to switch back to the GMAT every once in a while, that's great, too -- just make sure that you save a supply of good, fresh, virgin GMAT questions for closer to your exam.
I know: that was a little bit vague. But I don't know how many total CR and RC questions you'll ultimately want to do in order to reach your goals -- at you might not know at this point, either. So the key principle is to save some of the good GMAT stuff for later.
