News for you all which some of us may like it and some may groan after knowing that and i am in the second category..

OG 12 is released.. One of the puys informed me and i checked it out on the net.. ya i know now we all will have to add this book as well to our already long list of books.. :(

Wiley::The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition

I dunno why the GMAT ppl have not updated their sites

The OG Verbal and quant may be released after a few months and that is just a guess of mine..

I think we will have to take this book as well bcz its the most updated book from the gmat ppl and i think the tests may have questions from this book.. What say guys??


Hey Meenakhsi, i would like to place myself in the second category:-)
Well considering the introduction of a new edition,hopefully its just not run-of-the-mill edition like OG11 that has OG10 questions revisited with avery few new questions to look out for.Hope OG12 has a good collection and worth a buy!

Thanks for the update and must say you are the most active puy in this thread

The OG will never have 'live' questions in any edition. Only retired questions are featured on the OG. I am also looking forward to having a look at OG 12. OG 11th was actually a disaster as most of the questions were from OG 10 only. I hope things change in OG12


What do you mean when you say most of the questions were from OG 10? Did you mean that the pattern was similar to OG 10? .. Anways, i had a glance of both the OG's and i did'nt find any difference though...

After having a look at OG 10 and OG 11, you couldn't find any visible difference? Strange.

reachnagraj meant that nearly 70% of the questions in OG11 were same as in OG10 - not many new questions were added even though a new revision was released.

For VA - OG10 has OA is paragraph format. OG11 has OA in bulleted format. Each option is explained is a separate point - why is it right or wrong. Though, I didn't find any qualitative difference in the resonings presented in OAs of OG10 or OG11.

Hope it helped!

Hey all..

Some of us started the GMAT prep long time ago.. Lets come forward and discuss how much we all have finished and gear up more (My eyes usually open when i know i m the last one in the race.. hence the post ;)) I know determination should come from within but at the end of the day my bosses eat up all my determination for studies leaving just enough energy for me to eat and

Since the time i have started RC i have been practicing passages only.. have solved only 10 passages till now.. did an okey job but i can see i still have a long way to go.. have not been able to give enough time for studies but plan to start with quant by end of this week and get regular..

How about you guys?? Any one of you booked the appointment dates??

Hey hi all,

Some updates abt my prep so far (thogh nt much to speak abt)

Quant
Revised arithmetic concepts.
Did first 55 ques from the OG 11 books(though i must admit ki most of them were quite simple,switchd to OG Quant book & did sm questn frm there to)....here i need a suggestion frm u guys wht type of strategy shud b adapted while solvin the Quant que frm these books,as i found the starting que so much simple ki i was wondering do they really gv such que in actual GMAT.I read somewhere ki OG has sm tricky que in the end ..so just wanna ask wht pattern to follow to solve these que..


Verbal-

Started with RC..solved 5 RCs..so far the accuracy is ok,but I must admit RCs are related to different topics..so quite interesting(much btr than the quant que gvn)

Did some CR ques(35-40 i guess)..accuracy was in the range 80 %..lets c hw it shapes up..

But for me the trick will be SC..havnt started it yet..most probably wl start with Manhattan,as suggested by many ppl(but donno whn :D)

So dear frnds any suggestion abt hw i m shapin up??

Hi Tripurari..

u can download the free prep software from the mba.com site.. tht software has 2 free tests.. u can use them for checking ur stand.. :)


Hi Meenakshi,

Thanks for suggestion. I m plannin to take GMAT in June , most probably in 1st week. I have finished Princeton Review. After that I took a test offer by GMAC and scored 680 ( 42 M + 31 V), though i was not expecting such a low score in both of the sections. Anywaz, now I have started Manhattan alongwith OG and already finished SC section of both. This w-e I will take a K plan test.

Not to mention, being from Math background , I am not puttin much efforts on math section, but also not ignoring it completely. Its just that I m revising math section when I feel like takin break from V Sections.

I need some suggestions on how to strategize practice tests and wht shud b the score in Kplan tests if I target for 750+ in GMAT actual exam.

Kaplan tests are much tougher than the actual test so ur score shld be arnd 750 so tht u get more than 750 in actual GMAT..

reachmonil, reachnagraj any suggestions? how to go about the tests?

Shld we finish studying the books and take up tests one after the other or study some part and then take up the tests?

Kaplan test and scoring alogorithm are way off-the-mark vis-a-vis GMAT's. So, I strongly suggest you to ignore the scores you get in Kaplan tests.

I would suggest you people to take a test every one or two weeks (presuming that you have a good 3 months for your actual test-date). No point rushing through the tests, however tempting taking a test might seem. Moreover, tabulate the number of incorrects you get in all the tests you take. Scoring algorithm for all test-packages namely, Princeton, Kaplan, GMATPrep, 800Score, vary. But the number of errors you commit in successive tests will give you an idea on how you are progressing with your preps and where you need to improve.

Thanx Meenakshi & reachmoni. I knnow that these test are not an exact replica of GMAT test but we got to hv a base for preparation. As reachmonil suggested, I am plannin to take a test on alternate week ends.
BTW I just finished with Manhattan RC book. Its point method to answer the general question is really effective. I practiced with writing highlights and scatches and it really save the time, moreover this way u r more confident while answering long RCs.

How abtu all....whr r u presently in terms of prep?
