hurrah ! your efforts have finally paid off !

I can tell you guys that vivek is a diehard gmatclubber and is a guru when it comes to SCs. I'm sure he analyses SCs even in his dreams. His SC tips are a bible to anyone who wants to improve their SC skills. I found them very useful when I gave the GMAT a couple months back.

Congrats vivek !!!

Thank you very much friends :) Thanks Nandan (for making me feel that my SC skills are good ;))

John, Remgeo,
shahnandan (Nandan), is a RC killer, he shared few RC tips with me after he literally cracked it in GMAT. I'll post the tips sometime.

Coming to my preparation:
I started thinking of GMAT/MBA around 2004 end, that's when I found this wonderful place. I started my GMAT preparation around July 2005 & once bombed it in August ;) After that my study went through lot of hurdles mainly due to work priorities & study was going on & off. I had to postpone my GMAT date couple of times.

I knew that verbal is the weakest link for me, especially SCs. I consulted many people on the club like Paul, Wilfred etc. they gave me really valuable tips. I practiced a lot of SCs. The key is to eliminate each but one choice with "proper" reasoning, that too, by looking for more than one error in each choice (if possible) to make the elimination stronger. Not to forget discussions on our club forum is very good, it's the best way to learn! Explain your choice always. I was good in CRs & became good in RCs towards end.

The material I used is OG (10th edition), it's a MUST. I did SCs & CRs several times from the OG. The OG explanations are very good to learn. Apart from this, 1000SC, 1000CR, 1000RC, some old GMAT sets shared by friends here. I used KAPLAN verbal workout only initially to understand the strategies for SCs. Otherwise, I spent lot of time on the club, solving & discussing various problems. GMAT club challenges are worth trying, it gave me lot of confidence.
I wrote couple of practice tests but not too many, again due to my more than 12 hours work/day.

PR 680
KAPLAN 650
GMATPrep1 710
GMATPrep2 720
GMATPRep3 720
GMATPrep4 DON'T ASK (Almost 80% question were repeated ;))
I scored 50 in quants in two GMATPrep tests.

One suggestion I have is, do not get carried away by anybody's GMAT experience, never compare yourself with others. Just try to learn from others.
Let me know if you have any specific questions :) I'll be around. I'll be happy to share whatever I know. I'll be out for next 3 days, will try to respond as & when I get time :)

OH! I forgot to thank my wife & my little angel. :-D They tolerated a lot because of my work & the study schedules!

Congratulations!!!

Can you please share your RC tips.

Also, upon registering, two GMATPrep exams are available for download, right?. How come you have taken 4 GMATPrep exams?? Did you reset the results to take them again??

Thanks
