BigBrownFox · Answer

GMAT Date (booked or proposed): 2nd week of February
Target GMAT Score: 760+
GMATPrep Course:
Latest CAT Score (Prep Company):
Latest GMATPrep Score: 780 2 weeks ago
Other Information: Took the GMAT for the first time last week and scored a 730. I had planned to go through the entire OG13 and 2-4 Preptests before taking the actual test but unfortunately I slacked off and only got through 1/3 of the OG and 1 Preptest before the actual test. Plan to go through the rest of the material, along with MGMAT sentence correction guide since almost all of my errors in verbal was in SC, before a retake.

Good luck to all!

I scored consistently around 49 in quant but around 30's in verbal .... can you please suggest something . Currently I have OG12 , GMAC verbal Review , MGMAT SC and MGMAT CR . Anything else I need to include .
Thanx in advance for your help

GMAT Date (booked or proposed): Souvik's D day +2 months Target GMAT Score: 760+ other information :Will follow Souvik's approach after reading his debrief :-D

AbhiJ · Answer

GMAT is like an addiction , unless you score 750- 760, it doesnot feel that you have tamed the monster.
I am confused between two approaches. One advocated by Bb of reading GMAT Fiction. Other proposed by GMATNinja that is truckloads of LSAT practice. My instinct says to try both, however only time will tell.

Aristocrat · Answer
