official gmat test more on ur analytical skills, that is the way you approach a question and the way u think


I couldn't agree more! It's hard to say that any 3rd party practice test is better than GMAC's own GMATPrep software, but our new practice test (launched this past month) is all about measuring your analytical skills, not just how well you memorized idioms or number properties, etc.

Great writeup, BTW. Excellent tip about not getting too obsessed with the timer.

Hi Mate
Can you please advice me on the practise tests. As I bought the Veritas prep books but from amazon 2 months back but at that time there was no promotion of free practise tests. Now I am only left with CR books which I have to buy from veritas to make the full set. If I buy just CR books will I get the Practise tests. I have made my purchases from Amazon before as they sell in individual books. So this CR book as well will be bought from amazon.

Please advice.

Thanks

Hi tk,

We're no longer running that promotion, unfortunately. (Please let me know if you saw a promo that's still running somewhere.) But, please send me a private message and I can hook you up with five free practice tests!

3) Do the Manhattan/veritus or whatever unoffical gmatprep FIRST and Leave ALL your OG material for later. Those unofficial prep helps improve your concept and clarity (for Q part) but are not really reflective of what the gmat questions are ( official gmat test more on ur analytical skills, that is the way you approach a question and the way u think). As for verbal, Only OG are reflective of the actual GMAT. Hence, practice all your Manhattan online cat test first, exhaust all those questions, refine your concepts, and only then, start doing official questions.

Totally agreed. I started with the OG and i found it so difficult as I forgot a lot of the core concepts. Moved back to the Manhattan books to build up the core foundation.

Thanks for the Excellent Debrief
