Books I use: MGMAT books (basics + practice), Kaplan Premiere (practice), Princeton Review (mostly for practice), OG11 (practice)
I have been reading the basics and practicing for the last two months. I have practiced half the OG11 (solved the difficult questions first). I did not time myself since I knew my timing would be horrible and wanted to concentrate on getting the answers right. My accuracy for quant questions is around 90% and for the verbal questions it is 80%.
I was in for a rude awakening yeterday when I attempted a MGMAT CAT. The quant score is too embrassing to mention and the verbal score is 40. I could not even finish half the quant section. Not to mention once I took 5 mins to solve each problem at the start, I paniced and it was all downhill after that (both speed and accuracy wise). I managed to get through 25 questions in verbal section before I paused the clock. I solved the other 16 questions with the clock paused. This cheating got me a verbal score of 40.
Now my question is what the heck should I do about my speed? Did you guys have a similar experience for your initial practice CATs?

MGMAT quants is too tough but still i dont recommend pausing the clock for it because anyone can solve a question in 10 minutes, doing so defeats the whole purpose but dont panic, just identify your weak areas and work on that, also try to find simpler quicker ways of solving the PS questions.
Verbal is consistent, i never have issues with finishing the verbal part, again pausing the clock will defeat the whole purpose.

Absolutely. Be careful not to hit that pause button on MGMAT Cats
My first MGMAT test was 470... not to mention I took about an extra 30min per section b/c I hit the pause button.
However, my last one was a 640 and my teacher for the MGMAT class told me my score should be higher b/c of a few screw ups in the verbal section on MGMAT's part.
40 on V is awsome. don't worry bout the quant. The questions from MGMAT are hard and require you to spend lots of time on them.
Also, I dunno bout others, I don't finish everyone question. If I see a question thats really hard and that I know I can't solve, I make some educated guesses and MOVE ON.
If you don't know how to solve the problem in the first 30sec-1min, its highly doubtful you will get it in the next 1min-2min. Try to eliminate some answers and guess.
