Hi Everybody
I've been waiting for a few days to post this on the forum. I have an Ms in Engineering and am currently working. I am planning to appear for GMAT in 3-4months.
To assess myself I took the First test from GMAT Test Prep Software, got 710 (50Q, 34V).
This seemed a little high for a starting point and took the second test too, got 630 (50Q, 25V). The reason I took the second practice test is to correctly assess my situation. I went back to both the Tests and analyzed my answers.
Quant Incorrect________Test-I________Test-II
_________PS____________2____________5
_________DS____________4____________2
Verbal Incorrect________Test-I________Test-II
_________SC____________7____________8
_________RC____________0____________5
_________CR____________4____________4
I am good at Quant; with some practice I can maintain a scaled score of 50. My main problem is Verbal. I am not scared of GMAT verbal because most of it based on reasoning and I think with right practice I can do well in verbal too.
I have read through BB’s Study Guide, it’s very informative. The approach and the 3 month study plan are great. I do have a few questions specific to my situation. Sentence correction has been the toughest part in Verbal for me. I have read though the forum and found that Manhattan SC is very good. I have the following question
1) Should I start with “Manhattan SC & OG Verbal” or should I start with a different book and then come back to OG for practice? (Same question for Manhattan RC/Manhattan CR)
2) What is the best book for SC that explains the basics/strategies well?
3) For Quant practice, Can somebody please suggest me a book with lots of question and very good toughness?
4) I am planning to work on Verbal for a month, then start quant and do both simultaneously. Do you see any problem with this plan?
I would greatly appreciate your help, thanks a lot

Well lucky you. Tell me how you were able to see your score on the GMAT prep software. Those tests are supposed to be the ones most like the real test so i have saved one of them for the end.
Buy the Manhattan GMAT SC for SC (you also get 6 online tests with the purchase of this book). it is exhaustive and yet concise. Start OG after you are done brushing the basics. RC was very clearly outlined in Kaplan Premier
I have a MS in EE and i would say quant is my strength too but off late im having trouble maintaining the same level of intensity through the 4 hour exam. I havent found any book with really difficult quant questions- may be 1012 GMAT for probability and combination.
If you are brushing up basics start quant first and then do verbal. Verbal gets monotonous at which time you can practice Quant to break the monotony
If you found this helpful please give me Kudos!

Hi Mbafall2011
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I looked at “1012 GMAT” on Amazon; BB’s review for this book was good and I am considering this book for practice. Even though I am comfortable with quant, I want to consider Quant equally important.
As far as verbal is considered I think Manhattan series are good, but still want to hear from some more members of the group.
Thanks a lot
Ravi
