I am quite a lot here around, strolling throughout the GMAT Land.
Th exam didn't change that much overtime ten years, or so, now. The concepts tested behind are pretty much the same and the way you should tackle even the most difficult questions is similar.
More often than not, whenever we face in life a tough entity, it could be about a new job position to obtain for instance, or an exam like the GMAT to beat, a possible way out is to stick to the basics, to the roots, to the core of what is at stake.
Managing the basic but key pieces of equipment or tools we carry on in our experience luggage could be the best solution. This way, you clear the air and the envisioning of the whole scenario is less blurry.
Certainly, a negative side of the thousands of strategies we have to use to tackle a question, in the end, confuse us more than help us.
As it turns out, the GMAT tests few concepts, they didn't change over time a lot, which means that our paraphernalia needs few mechanisms:
Having this in mind, I re-discover in my database these lessons recorded at the time by Farbood Nivi, the creator of Grockit GMAT. The company, later on, considering the discrete success, mostly because of the innovative way of Ferbood's teaching, was sold to Kaplan. This is another story, though.
These lessons teach you the very essence of the GMAT: read carefully, apply at the best your logic, and all the information is provided to you by the test makers.
I would say these lessons are a "diamond in the rough".
Of course, I do not wanna be misunderstood. These videos are far from help you to achieve the top score during the real exam. However, they might teach you how the test makers think conceiving a question; how paying attention to details; how to move along the question and so forth.
Enjoy.

As it turns out, the GMAT tests few concepts, they didn't change over time a lot, which means that our paraphernalia needs few mechanisms:
- read very carefully the stem of a CR question and stick for keywords or sentences. All the information we do need is there. Enough. Of course for doing this we do not necessarily need 1000 ways of reasoning but rather a really good grasp of standard English. If you understand fully the stimulus, then every question, does not matter the complexity, might be managed.
- The same identical thing is veritable for RC.
- The same thing is valid for SC to some extent too. Even though in this case, you do need a touch of grammar more and focusing on the question thanks to the greatest emphasis on the meaning.
