I have not touched any GMAT books for the past one week and I feel absolutely miserable. I've been so busy with the recruitment week and getting things together for school work. Must get back to SC. *solemn promise*

It happens only in India - nice song.

In India, especially in the south, large emphasis is given to the education and sometimes I feel we Indians are burdened with lot of things right from the childhood.
.


Haha :-D Tell me about it!!
I know exactly what you are saying.
For the record, I fall in the same category - South Indian !

Same here.. I am busy preparing my 1st application essay. I am going to apply for the first round for Fall 2011. Actually it is a career goal statement and I am not doing a good job multitasking this with GMAT preparation.

Me too need to concentrate more on SC :( .

Haha, South Indians are the best ;)

As for SC, I've almost given up on studying now. Next week, I'll resume work.

Alright, started SC and taking notes now while doing 10 CR problems each day. My hit rate is very unstable - varies anywhere between a 90% and a 100% on a given day. I haven't started OG yet so I am just using this time to familiarize myself with the specific types of questions and how twisted they can get.

Meanwhile, to anyone who has used them - any idea about whether the Verbal paper tests are good?

I meant to say...if your hit rate is above 90% consecutively then it can't be called as 'unstable'. ...common sense...;-)

I have access to the Powerscore On-Demand Course and I am using that as well as Veritas and MGMAT to prepare for the GMAT, choosing to do strategies from one of them and using the rest as practice material as necessary.

Presently, my SC preparation is halfway through and I am working on the Advanced CR book from Veritas. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish my SC strategy by today and start working on the SC questions from Veritas by tomorrow.

I think I am extremely lucky because I understand the rules of SC without much struggle. When I was taking a practice GMAT Grockit session, I got only 5 questions wrong out of 51 in the Verbal section and none of them were in SC. Now, I've begun the Powerscore SC and I am also thumbing through the MGMAT SC slowly in order to pick up important tips!

Thanks whiplash, good to know you're doing so well! My SC is not so bad but CR is terrible, so your guide could come in handy.
Thanks again.
