(Posted something similar on BTG but thought I would share it here also)
My first attempt was in July and I scored 680. (49Q and 34V). I was shattered but the score was pretty close to what ETS, GMAC Prep and Manhattan scores that I got. So my quick advice is if you are not aiming above what your scores in these mocks (esp. the ones that I mentioned) then postpone your test and really step back and take a good look at where you are losing marks. Hoping very strongly or reading blogs from someone who says he/she got 650 in these mocks but ended up with 720+ is encouraging but not realistic.
In my score I know where I did a mistake. I calculated 6C3 to be 10 instead of 20. I missed this and had I got this one I might have gotten 700 and I wouldn't cared to write again. I have taken up the date on the 26th and will gauge where I stand and take a call.
The first time around, I took Mocks, as someone said "Mindlessly", this is not going to help. You need to know you will get a score and get it. If that is not happening then you have to sit down and carefully look at whats going wrong. I think I didn't do that. If I got a low score, I moved on thinking I will get better in the next one.
My second time I am preparing with focus. I feel that I can only get so much better in SCs and am sure I cannot master the rules of Grammar except the basic ones. So I mastered the SC basics (ManG SC guide) and Kaplan premier and am doing a ton of practice. I think the 2 things that is really in our hands is CR and RC (non-native english guys...that might be a gross generalization but I met many ppl who agree to that). I am focusing a lot on CR (did OG, kaplan 800, kaplan premier and 1000CR) and I feel my accuracy is improving. For RC, I am reading a variety of articles on the net on abstract topics. Some of these are ridiculous but helpful. I go through the newspapers editorials esp. the ones written by foreigners.
I am doing the 1000 series. I agree there are typos and stuff but using forums like , gmatclub, PagalGuy and BTG and grockit, you can learn a good deal about a few things.
Oh, 1 bigggg thing i realized the first time around is when you are taking a mock, make sure you spend an hour on AWA. I thought this is not going to be a big strain on my mind but trust me it is. I did get a 6 but I was half exhausted by the end of the first hour.
I hope I do well the second time around. All the best to everyone else. If anyone has any advice for me, please feel free.
Thanks.

Congratulations .. I think this time you would definitely cross 700.. Any idea whether the difficulty level of Verbal questions in GMAT was in comparable to the later verbal questions of OGs or above the level.. Did you see any idiom usage in SC
Thanks..
Thanks..

I don't recall seeing any idioms and that probably could mean 2 things - I didn't notice them as I was under pressure or there were no questions like that. When I was doing the OG, I got a lot of questions correct but obviously the real exam was different and, I felt, it was tougher (at least the verbal).
Thank you.
Thank you.
