SC1000/RC1000/CR1000 Projections

Question

Hey all,

So, through the first 300 questions for each, I am at a 80% hit rate for CR, 76% hit rate for SC, and 78% hit rate for RC. Are these good representations of the actual GMAT?

Also, what hit rate should i be at to ensure a 720+ score?

Thanks in advance...

1000 SC = 80% (did about 300 of them)
1000 CR = 65% (did about 60 of them then quit)...I think they are 10x harder than the OG (95% hit rate) but someone said OG problems are in the 500-600 range.
1000 RC = ??? (the first three passages, 7/8; 7/8; 1/8 science...so I got bored and focused on SC) For me I can't really distinguish between a hard RC and an easy one and I absolutely hated them.

I got a 39 on the verbal.

hope this helps...looks like you are doing better then me.

haha... thanks for the input Navy...

I def hate RC as well... I am planning on finishing up ~600 of each type of problems and then reviewing all my mistakes before moving on to OG...

What did you use to improve your SC?

My CR scores are shaky on here... Some days I'm on fire and other days I can't buy a bucket... actually hit 35% one day...

So don't really know what to expect...

bobinabob2,

I think once you have done 600 out of the 1000s, you would see a lot of repeats in OG. I haven't done the 1000s yet, but I have seen a few common.

My main prep for SC was the Manhattan GMAT. After that it was reading the official explanations in the OG for each problem. You'll eventually pick up some of the GMAT tricks (that are never written, even in this forum) like

The application of pesticied and irrigation were costly...

This is a common mistake that I never found an explanation for but is always listed as "unclear" in the OG. It is "unclear" since 'application of' refers to pesticides and irrigation and you don't apply irrigation.

Anyway I learned to be fearful of the "of + noun and noun" construction just by reading the OG.

I would recommend doing the OG first because you want to know why you are getting them wrong and it gives official answers/explanations. You don't know where the 1000 problems are from and I know some of the answers in the 1000s are wrong because the answer is in the OG is different. Plus although a lot of people here are pure genious, you never know which explanation is actually correct so I liked to work with OA and OE.
