Hi everyone,
I have been lurking on the forums for a while and I need some direction.
I've studied for about two months. First cold gmat practice test I got a 530 (Q29, V33) on the first GMAC practice test
After studying for 3 weeks just doing problems out of the OG I got a 650 (Q42, V37) under test conditions on the second test
I was pretty stoked to see such improvement so fast.
After that I got the 7th edition MGMAT quant and verbal books.
Unfortunately my scores went on a steep decline over the next 6 weeks using the manhattan CATs.
620 (Q41, V34)
590 (Q39, V32)
560 ((Q38, V29)
All I can think of is that I am not doing enough problems to stay sharp and that I am not actually understanding the concepts from the MGMAT books.
I am considering buying the genius package from axamPAL to get the tutoring, videos, and examinations of my performance. But I thought I would run it by you guys before I blew some money, what do you guys think?
Thanks in advance

Hi shrinks101,
Welcome to GMATCLUB! Manhattan GMAT CAT's are definitely a bit harder than the official GMAT so I would take that score with a pinch of salt. I think Exampal is a great course with some great reviews, however you can also look at other online courses before you select one.
In order to make an informed decision I would highly encourage you to go to their websites and try on their free trial and decide for yourself which one do you like better. You try out free access to EmpowerGMAT, Magoosh and TTP as they have great reviews on GMATCLUB.
If you are looking for a good course in verbal, I would highly encourage you to consider e-gmat verbal online or the e-gmat verbal live course. They are both amazing courses especially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in both the courses is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market. You can easily track your progress in that you can identify your strengths and analyze and improve on your weak areas.
I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
I would also encourage you to purchase Official GMAT practice Question form mba.com for some great additional practice.
Lastly, you can check out a very interesting article by Mike McGarry from Magoosh detailing a 3 month study plan
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-g ... -students/. You will find it very helpful as it gives out a study plan as per your needs.
Hope this helps. All the best.
