I just took my first full-length GMAT practice exam (used the first GMAT Prep exam) and scored a 710 (49Q 38V). I'm pretty pleased with this score as I haven't really done any studying other than taking the OG self-assessment exam at the beginning of the book. I plan on buying and going through the MGMAT material and also the additional GMAT Prep questions banks and exams. My questions are:
In terms of schedule, I won't be getting the MGMAT books for about a month or so (combination of vacation and travel) but have the OG on my iPad. I was planning on just working through five problems or so from each section a day between no and mid June. Once I get the MGMAT material, I will spend around 3 hrs a day during the week and 4 hrs or so on the weekend studying. I don't have a test date scheduled yet so I can make sure I give myself adequate time.
My last question to the experts is: what should I be doing to get myself to an 800? I understand that may be a long-shot, but I figure if I shoot for an 800 and fall short I'll still have a great score. I don't mind putting in long hours studying - I'm very disciplined when it comes to studying and exam prep.
Thanks and look forward to the responses!
- What's the best flashcard set? I say the GMAT Club set and liked some of those cards.
- I've heard the Kaplan 800 book isn't all that great. Is there any material out there that is similar but of a higher quality?
- What are some good materials to learn more math shortcuts and tricks?
- Any other materials that are at a higher level?

Hi Gordon,
Great job on that GMAT Prep! Two things that high scorers should consider:
1. Using LSAT Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning. This work is tougher than GMAT verbal and superb practice.
2. GMAT Club Quant Tests. Tough as nails Quant. These tests will teach you tons of tips and tricks along with strengthening your fundamentals.
Good luck!

PS: I also have a GMAT question of the day on my site. The explanations are in depth and provide a bunch of Quant strategies and shortcuts.

Thanks for the feedback! I was definitely planning on the GMAT Club quant tests and was on the fence regarding the LSAT book. I will add the LSAT book to the stable and let the fun begin!
