Hi,

If you have problems with verbal especially SC, I would recommend you watch free "Thursday with Ron" videos on mgmat website.

Also, if you exhaust all the OG 13 questions, you can consider this to practice more official GMAT questions https://www.mba.com/store/store-catalog/ ... ction.aspx

Hope that helps! Good luck with your preparation :lol:

Hey man

My case is also very similar to yours - 620 in the first attempt - and I'm retaking next week. One thing that I'd strongly recommend you not do is practice the same questions all over again. While a lot of people recommend that you do the official questions 2-3 times, I just find that this makes it very difficult to approach the question in an unbiased manner as what i had done earlier on this question keeps playing on my mind.

Since I had also used the MGMAT material for my first attempt along with the OGs, I have been using the following books for my retake prep and have found them extremely useful:

- Kaplan Advanced and Kaplan Verbal Workbooks
- The Aristotle Verbal Grail books

I especially recommend the Aristotle SC book which is an excellent blend of theory and practice. I have some of these in soft copy so PM me in case you want me to send them to you.

Good luck!
