Thanks Siva! I took only GMATprep 1, 2 and 3. So don't know how good are other tests. But I would say to build your stamina, you should definitely take 3-4 full length tests. I have disliking for gmat questions that are not from GMAC. IMHO, they are a waste of time. So I would say definitely do 4 gmatprep tests. But more importantly analyze each test thoroughly for errors and timing strategies. Hope it was helpful. Don't hesitate to write back if you have any more doubts. Good luck!

Hi
Great journey to that awesome score especially in verbal...very inspiring....i just have two queries:
1. What is the importance of mock tests in GMAt prep...esp verbal?
2. Which mock series apart from GMAT prep tests do you think were really close to the original test?


Regards
Siva

Thanks SkandanNinja19!
I must confess DS is pain in #$@%. :)
Manhattan's Advance Quant strategies is a good book. Please take a look if you have not already read it. It is a thick book so read only theory and skip all end of chapter problems. Let me know if it was helpful. Good luck!

Wov,
that's really inspiring. I am going through OG and feel that SC questions are getting tougher and tougher as I progress. I was very disappointed to see more questions are going wrong while I go through these 100+ SC questions given in OG. is it that difficulty level increases in these questions in an ascending way?

Thanks

Thanks GMatAspireCA! I am glad you found this debrief inspiring. Yes - SC questions will get tougher tougher as you go further in OG. In fact, some of the hard questions in Question Pack and Gprep1&2 data base used to make my head spin too. But the good part is if you can keep going and take your time to understand these question, you will exponentially improve your SC skills. After you finish doing all questions from OG13, Qpack, and Gprep Databse, you will realize that there only a few grammar rules that GMAT loves to test.

Hope that helps. Let me know how things go. Good Luck!

In this part NoHalfMeasures > Exercise: There is tremendous body of evidence suggesting benefits of exercise on brain function. I almost never missed daily 30 min brisk walks. I used to listen to wordlist or math tables during those 30 min.
Could you please recommend me a good wordlist and math tables?
Thank you!
