Hey everyone,
So I have been thinking about applying to B-school and decided to try out the CAT download from the official GMAT site as I hear it replicates the actual exam very well. Much to my dismay I scored a 620. Anyways my goal is to get a 700-720 (and take the exam by August) and I was wondering how I should go about this. I feel as though the exam has brought me down to earth as I graduated from Ivy undergrad and expected to do well. There seem to be a lot of guides out there and I was wondering where to start? I seem to have struggled primarily on the data sufficiency questions (would always get one right but not the other).
Thanks!

Welcome to the club!! I think after giving an exam, you know what to expect in the exam. Pick a plan based the time/areas to focus and go through the material.
What's the split on your exam? Forum members can suggest you material or useful tips based on the split of your score.
If you want to do more research, start with following links.

Thanks for the reply!
I went ahead and got MGMAT Number Properties as well as the OG12, OG Quant, and MGMAT Companion the the Official Guide.
To be honest I consider myself more of a quant person (UG was a degree in finance from probably the top program in the country) and I scored really well on the SAT Math but I just was really thrown off by the Data Sufficiency questions.
Two Questions:
1) What have you all found to be the most effective? Go through all of the MGMAT guides and then start taking practice exams or just dive into the OG and do questions until I can't figure something out?
2) What are some strategies that work well for data sufficiency?
Thanks!

- i.e. when you are referred to the OG questions, do not just flip to the next chapter in the
