HI,

Am not very sure about that as I have not solved questions from that.
For practice i used grockit.coma nd gmatclub questions. (you can find a link to gmatclub tags in my signature)

Hi Farb!

Thanks a million for the insightful analysis.
I totally buy your point, i need to do all types of problems.

I havent done a regressive analysis but yea on a high level i know i need to improve in few areas and avoid silly mistakes. I would be a huge favour if you can check if i'm using the right stuff to scale GMAT peaks. Also suggest if it is at all feasible in 45 days time with 3 hrs on weekdays and 5-6 hrs on weekend.


Here is the brief:
For quant (focus 40% of my prep time, turn v48 to v50):
- I have started using grockit esp. for quant as it maintains my progress, strengths/weaknesses and also have good quality problems
- OG13 new probs, OG Quant review, Chilli hot Maths, Jeff's extreme challenge
- some GMATclub test probs (through iphone app)

For Verbal (focus for 60% of my prep time, turn v34 to ~v37-38)

SC
- MGMAT SC/Aristotle Grail (redo)
- OG13 SC full with thorough understanding of official explainations
- Buy GMAT Prep question pack (as i found SC was pretty different on actual GMAT). What do u suggest?

CR
- Powerscore CR (redo only attacking techniques)
- practice lots of problems
- OG13, OG VR 2, KAP800, GMATPrep QB, GMATclub 700 difficulty probs
- LSAT Test probs

RC
- Aristotle RC (99 passages)
- OG verbal review 2, OG13 new probs

I also have an e-gmat verbal subscription.
In addition, i will give 5 MGMAT CATS and optionally 5 KAP CATs

Best Regards,
Mansoor
