Thanks rakesh22, that's a wonderful suggestion. DO you know how far supplements imitate questions from OGs?

I am thinking whether I can use GMATchallange because lot of people suggested that so far and looking for good Verbal challenges too. Anybody has idea about Powerscore GMAT CR bible? I am still struggling with Inference and Evaluate type question. If Powerscore is good stuff for CR, I will probably opt for that.

Power Score is .. great book for CR...go for it .

Thanks suresh. Which one is good - LSAT CR guide or GMAT CR guide?

Just a weird question: is there any auspicious effect on test centers? I mean people tend to get high scores from few test centers and do not from few others. I have observed that people in different forum scored in higher 600 zone or in lower 700 zone and told that they hard of few people who had secured 750+ within past few weeks from the same center.

bOTH ARE THE SAME...In almost all the places, lsat is replaced with GMAT. in other places, where there is significant change is the format of the gmat , time strategy etc etc,. so any one of them is ok.

Dont get bogged down by all such things as auspicious and all that . DONT LOSE FOCUS. its all in your head. Just pray to god, put in your best , and leave the rest to fate.

Thank you arjtryarjtry. I went through your "tryst with destiny" and that's great.

Today I was comparing my scaled score and Percentile with my previous attempt on May 2008; I have found that percentile in both verbal and quant had deduced 1-2 percentile within 5-6 months span!! My quant score is 44 that was 72 percentile and now it is 70 percentile whereas verbal score at 25 was 37 percentile and now it is 36 %tile and therefore the total score is affected too. It means in coming days either applicant has to secure 730-750(+) or Pearson has to make questions trickier. Still I doubt that how the scoring algorithm system considers pool of examinees and probable scores? Do it accounts for all the examinee for last 5 years or just go with a 365 days span?
