Just to share some GMAT studying tips for people who are still studying for GMAT
Official Guide - OG is the bible. I did the SC verbal section twice, analyzed twice. One analysis is done on each problem by testing points; One analysis is done by different test points with question numbers. Then reviewed another time before the test. OG SC is the SC bible. We shall worship it and read it every night before we go sleep. Better we should sleep with it under our pillow, and let its electromagnetic field influence our brain.
Princeton Verbal Review - I found its CR strategy is very helpful.
Kaplan 800 - CR strategy is great addition to Princeton.
LSAT - I got a set of LSAT CR review questions from my friend. I found it to be very helpful. LSAT CR questions are harder than GMAT. Therefore, after you go through dozens of LSAT questions, you'll find GMAT CR to be easy.
GRE - RC was very painful for me at the beginning. What's more painful is GRE RC questions, I did 4 GRE RC passages every day for about a week. At the end of the week, I couldn't keep up, because I almost always want to puke when I look at the GRE RC passages. But, then you come back look at GMAT RCs. They are a lot easier, and you are a lot happier. and GMAT RC has a better logic structure than RC. To first identify its logic structure, one will find the reading become much easier.
Math - Since I come from engineering background, I found it to be easy. You need to be careful and more careful and even more careful. A lot of the mistakes are made when you are not careful. OG + Kaplan 800 train yourself how to be careful under pressure. And, don't drink water before the exam. Halfway through my math test. I really wanted to go to bathroom, so the last 15 questions I did them on a fly, didn't go back check them. Maybe that's why I didn't get 51 on Math.

Congratulations!!
You have an awesome score. I would follow your advice regarding the SC. I badly need to improve my SC.
How did you prepare for Quant? all the questions in OG? or more?
What were your CAT scores (did you even try any?) ?

sonibubu,
Yes I have and I'm currently working on my SC. Time is running out for me. I have about a week left.
Do you think I sould still try to attempt 1000sc or should I change my focus to GMATprep and MGMAT CATS?

you will notice a slight improvment on your SC skills after you have read the Mgmat SC guide..especially it will give you a hand in understanding || ism, modifiers etc..

I did GmatPrep software 3 times
2/11 700(M49, V35)
3/1 710(M48, V40)
3/10 760(M50, V44)
I think the questions that I got on the real test didn't go out of the test points presented in OG. Math just OG + Kaplan 800. I found math is really how focus you are. Do it one time, Do it again. Make sure that you are not missing it just by stupid mistakes.

Congratulations on a great score!
But how come Q50 and V41 result in 760 and Q49 and V41 result in 730? Are you sure your V was not higher than 41?

yeah. It is on my print out. Maybe it also depends on the location of your wrong answer? Maybe I'm at the low end of 760? I'm not sure.
