Dear Team,

I have completed Manhattan Books & E-GMAT Verbal Course still something is not adding up for me. Thus, I have decided to practice only those questions which are available with the official guide or Verbal / Quant review tag in GMAT forums except "GMAT PREP". Will this approach keep me oblivious to the question types or practice questions essential for the D-DAY? If yes, which tags should I focus to practice with given that I am using only GMAT Club for my preparation now and have full faith in it.

Hi aashigarg,

I think official questions are generally better than non-official questions, so your decision to focus exclusively on official questions is absolutely fine. Not doing questions from the official practice tests is important as well. Don't forget to analyse every question so that you learn as much as you can from the practice questions you're doing.

Aashi,

All official questions are a must (from review guides, OG, official practice tests etc).

The problem is that test takers often run out of official questions during the 'learning' phase (while working on concepts) and have no previously unseen questions left for the 'practice' & 'testing' phases.
That is why we suggest our students to use our own questions from our book and our question bank during 'learning' phase. We base our questions on the same pattern as the official questions. Thereafter, we suggest them to practice from Review guides and OG for practice (but stay away from GMAT Prep questions). Finally, they take the practice tests, ours as well as GMAT Prep.

We feel that this way, one can best use the available resources.
