Dear BB,
Please stop suggesting Expert's global. I spent a considerable amount of time with them and their materials sucks beyond bounds. Their mocks tests are a steaming pool of crap and no one should waste their precious time on it. Please re-enforce the importance of Official Guides to the newcomers and save them time and money.

😂😂😂 which product did you use? A course or just the tests? Thank you for the feedback! Have you written a more thought out review for them? If not, You should post it here: http://gmatclub.com/reviews
PS. About official guide, it’s a good point. Though I would not recommend to use it instead of some kind of a guidebook or a course or something else. A lot of new people assume official guide is a fully sufficient study book and they spend 2 months going through it and wasting all the questions and wondering why they score 550. official guide is important but it is not enough. There’s a lot to be said and shared with new members.😬

There are two general approaches to studying anything including GMAT, and one of them is going through questions, making mistakes and then figuring out why. The second one is studying the material and only then going through questions, usually making fewer mistakes and then understanding why are you still made mistakes.
Both processes work. Both have their advantages and each has its fans. However, for me and in my experience, using a book or some kind of a study plan or guide is a more efficient and streamlined approach. This does involve learning some materials and rules that you may not quite understand why you’re learning. But I feel deficiencies in trade-offs a worth it.
If you’re studying using questions, and you base all your learning on that, you will potentially end up spending quite a bit of time chasing the topics and chasing material, you are assuming that you’ll hit all the topics and finally you are not following a certain progression in difficulty or topics. For example do you really need to start with probability or perhaps fractions would be a better spot. It can also get frustrating was just doing questions, especially in verbal where strategies are so important. Doing questions over and over may help you figure out strategies on your own but I would say it’s unlikely that she will come up with the best approaches and strategies and the question is why. Why not buy a $10 book from Manhattan about critical reasoning and learn all the approaches and strategies instead of inventing them on your own.
However, I have seen people who have used the question approach and they thought doing 3 to 5000 questions will give them a great score and for many it did. On the other hand, you can probably get away with doing 1000 practice questions if you have a guidebook. Once you know a topic, you can move on… 🤷♂️ but I totally understand there is diversity in approaches and how peoples minds work and for some people doing it question by question is the only way. I just wanted to highlight the differences and approaches. Frankly, do what works best for you. I just wouldn’t assume that it will work miracles for everyone else 😇

A lot of people near me like to say that Im self-taught. I dont think so, but I used to learn a lot by my self (like speak english).
If someone want a advice, I think that practice its the key for anything. Dont lie to yourself neither hide yourself in high quality books because your effort always counts more than anything.
Thats why I believe that bank of questions its the best content to prepare. The more you do, better you get

Thank you. I think he was trying to help you and also give me some advice. Pajama scientist has been on GMAT Club for a few years and has a certain dry style that sometimes lacks a filter. You get a RAW output that is helpful but can be rough around the edges. At the same time, he got a great GMAT score so he knows a thing or two about GMAT products that I only really get a sense of from reading reviews and hearing debriefs and comments on the forum.
