Hi,

After scoring 740 (with a 6/6 on AWA) with the help of Gmat Club, I think its my time to give back. Hence, I would like to offer guidance to anyone in need, especially on gmat strategy and timing as I believe that makes the biggest difference.

Please feel free to post your queries here and I will be more than happy to respond.

Hi,

I used Manhattan GMAT and the OG. OG was the most helpful for questions but Manhattan ensured the fundamentals were in place.

Most importantly, I think it was my strategy of reading the question sceptically and looking for errors which made it possible for me to crack the questions in less than a minute.

U may wish to read details about my strategy at the following url

Feel free to reach out in case of any further queries.

Hi harsha,

I used "pre thinking" strategy in CR and "active reading" in RC.

U can find details of my strategy by section in my debrief at the link below.

ten-essentials-for-gmat-660-to-740-its-all-about-strategy-168560.html

Let me know in case of any further questions.
