Quite a honest debrief ........

the thing that i liked about your method of preparation is - solving entire question bank for quants .. and then you acknowledging that most of the questions in the gmat were derivation of the question encountered on gprep .

i would like to know is a GMAT aspirant better off -practicing as many question as they can from gprep as this might expose them to wider variety of problems ? generally the tendency of the test taker is to save gprep for last 2 to 3 full length practice tests ... don't you think by doing so a test taker does not expose himself / herself to large variety of questions that is there in the gprep question bank ?(to my knoweldge gprep question bank has around 850 question in quant alone )

I would like you to throw some light on this aspect of the test . I wish you all the best for the PHD programme that you intend to apply .

The 400 questions I am talking about are questions I purchased independently of the questions on the practice tests - I think it is called Question pack 1 or something of the sort.

I scored the lowest on the GMAT (650- when I scored 530 I didn't speak English) when I went after questions from multiple sources without trying to address issues that were germane to scoring higher on the test: Developing alternative solution methods to problems that took more than 3 minutes to solve.

If you score more than quant 45 on a practice test, alternate solutions, not more problems, is the key to a higher quant score: In my opinion.
