Hi everyone
First of all, thanks for all the time and effort you guys put in. It's a huge help to say the least.
I have been preparing for the GMAT for around a month and will the taking the test in the first week of July. I needed some advice on my preparation in the coming month. First, some background on my prep so far.
I am an engineer with decent math skills and I don't think I have verbal impediment. I started my prep by going through information about the test and types of questions, strategies etc. I then moved on to reading through (and taking notes from) Manhattan SC, RC and CR guides. I then moved on to questions from the OG and Kaplan Verbal Workbook (interspersed with my reading). I did the questions untimed and here is how I fared:
OG:
SC - 90% correct
RC - 95% correct
CR - 95% correct
Kaplan VWB:
SC - 90% correct
RC - 85% correct
CR - 95% correct
I have also taken two MGMAT CAT tests in the past two weeks. The details:
CAT 1: 720 (Q-45, V-42) was very rusty on the quant section
CAT 2: 770 (Q-50, V-45)
On the verbal section in both tests, I got around 8-9 questions wrong and they were evenly distributed among the 3 types of questions.
I would like to know what I should plan to do to maximize my score. I have been analyzing all the questions that I get wrong or am not sure about. I have also ordered the Verbal Review by GMAC for further practice.
It would be awesome of someone could give me pointers on the following:
1. Study plan and material I should cover
2. A good source of practice material (verbal) where I can practice questions of a higher difficulty level
3. Tests I should take other than MGMAT and GMAT Prep
4. Methods for improving individual skills for particular question types (SC,CR,RC)
I'd really appreciate any advice and sorry if I've bored you to death by now.
Thanks again.
Regards
Pranay

1. Maintain an error log. This is the best way of keep track and making sure similar mistakes are not made.
2. Use the book review threads to determine what book to buy:

You seem to be all set for taking the real test. I wouldn't worry too much. Just maintain composure and don't let individual questions break you down on the test and you *should* be fine.
