Hello Guys
I went through Manhatten Guides and advanced quant, also Cracking the Gmat by Princeton(which I found useless after
MGMAT guides), then took MGMAC official practice test and scored 41 on verbal, 49 on quant,
I need to improve the verbal score to 47-48, and the quant score ideally to 51,
I need to get the best ADVANCED verbal course/study materials, which are really aiming for 700+ score
I would like to get also the best collection of advanced verbal and quant questions.
Thank you
Hello,
dato10kokli, and welcome to the forum. I appreciate the candid appraisal of those study materials. When my students ask me about different guides, I like to provide an informed opinion rather than say,
Well, I have only used such-and-such. From what I have read in many debriefs written by higher-scoring candidates, online, module-based learning has helped considerably. I can only say that all of my students who have used
Target Test Prep for Quant have been quite pleased with their improvements. You can find it and other online courses in the Marketplace, if such a delivery style suits your studying preferences. (Such a course is way cheaper than tutoring.)
Verbal is a bit trickier to pin down once you have exhausted the
MGMAT guides. If CR is holding you back, for example, then many students find the PowerScore CR Bible helpful. I will say that the skills you learn in CR are directly translatable to answering RC questions. SC is kind of its own animal. If you have gone through the OG, then I would suggest reviewing each question you had either missed or guessed on for each type of problem--PS, DS, RC, CR, SC--by looking up the corresponding question right here on GMAT Club. You will likely find a certain expert who speaks to your method of reasoning for a given type of question.
GMATNinja,
daagh,
VeritasKarishma,
AjiteshArun,
DmitryFarber, and many other Verbal experts provide high-quality analyses on a consistent basis. (There are others I am forgetting at the moment, but I think you get the gist.) After spending a lot of time on such an in-depth review, you might want to tackle new Verbal questions via the OG Verbal Review or even GRE® Reading Comprehension or LSAT Logical Reasoning questions (the equivalent of CR questions on the GMAT™).
Whatever you decide, best of luck in your preparation. If you have any questions at any step in the process, just reach out to the community.
