Thanks psd and kevin. I'm not obesssed with a high math or with a high verbal score. I just want to make sure that I'm not leaving any stones unturned in my prep.

I think the silly mistakes are certainly a problem. This gets compounded when one keeps going on drilling down problems in math. I did the math practice sections yesterday from Kaplan. There are 6 PS sections on the CD and I did them non-stop; no breaks. I managed a 100% on the 1st 3, then 1 silly mistake in the 4th, then 2 in the 5th and 2 in the 6th. Decided to stop :) In other words, I realize that my brain gets lazy pretty soon and I need to train it to keep going.

Kap specific question: Are you guys using the timing on the CD? its certainly less than 2 mins a question on PS, and just over a minute for DS which I think is too less. How does Kap compare to the real deal in terms of the most difficult questions?

kevin, i do plan to run through some of your questions, though i feel that sometimes the enormity of calculation they need are beyond the GMAT. Of course, this might just be my laziness. I will keep your inputs in mind. Given that I'll soon be in the last month of prep, I have limited options about what to study.

Thanks again for the inputs.
