Congrats! I was scoring in the mid 500s also last year and now I'm in the mid 600s. I definitely need to improve soon as I want to apply by the second round of schools this year. I've already gone through all the MGMAT books and am scoring a 34 on Verbal and 43-44 on Quant. Any suggestions on which section to study more and from where? Do you suggest practice problems such as the ones from this site, or ??? I see a lot of posts about the GMAT club tests for math are good. MGMAT review again, GMAT Club questions? What do you think?

I'm also wondering if you think it will be helpful to study about SC now that it is more about meaning than anything else. Would MGMAT SC still help?

Saeed, arzad, Prateek, jeprince, jdam, soccernation, karteek, trojan, yogenderarora Thank you all for your wonderful compliments.

I've the toefl coming up this sunday so I'm a bit tied up :$. Havn't had the chance to straighten up my notes.

I'm just attaching my short CR strategy for now, hope its of help. This is something that worked for me. Its best that you make your own with what works for you. Additionally, you should have gone through the whole CR guides, MGMAT and/or Powerscore before you can apply a strategy.
