Duttsit,

Happy New Year to you too!

I saw your posts and discussions with others on RC - strategy and time management.
Can you provide more information about the difficulty level of RCs and CRs. Is OG suffucient?

IMO, OG is MUST for SC and CR. For CR, you can look at LSAT tests(included in 1000CR you can get somewhere in verbal subforum).

As per my experience, RC was a bit difficult than OG (two >75 line RCs). Again LSAT RC, though bit hard, might be good practice. It is important, also, to do practice under strict timing conditions. My rule of thunb was to take ~3 mins reading passage (>55 lines) and 40-50 secs each answering questions.

Thanks Duttsit. That's great advice.

Outstanding improvement Duttsit! Everyone in this club knows that you are worthy of all 680 of those points and then some. Consider yourself a fierce contender at any school where you intend to apply.

Please stick around in the forum to share your math expertise.

Good luck buddy,

Matt

Duttsit congratulations for your score!! :-D I would be very proud if I could have a 600+ score...Since you have both 10th and 11th OGs, can you please tell me if there is a big difference between the two of them? I have the 10th and I'm thinking of buying the 11th,too...Is it worth?What do you think?

I used OG11 for verbal section only and found it helpful. Here are a few things I observed:
- OG11 is supplemented by two other books : GMAT Verbal Review, GMAT Quantitative Review. I think it is sufficient to order OG 11(GMAT Review) only. Esp if you already have OG10.

- Explanations in OG11 is alot better than OG10. For this reason itself, its worth it. Esp for SC/CR.

- There is some overlap between OG10/OG11 questions. I found questions in OG11 a little harder (and therefore more representative) than OG10. The Diagnostic test at the beginning is MUST. All new questions and alot harder than OG10/Kaplan.

- OG11 has: RC(141 Q), CR(124), SC(138)

All the best.
