GMAT test takers study group for 2009- Mumbai

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.


which tests willl be better from ur experience ie which test can give a reliable idea, as in to gauge where we stand? i took the one on manhattan GMAT..

There's no other test closer to the real one except one that comes from the GMAT test-makers itself - GMATPrep.

Manhattan tests are also good - they have credibility in the GMAT prep market. OAs in MGMAT tests are worth a read.

i suggest take tests from Kaplan...they r pretty gud n will prepare u for slightly tougher side of the exam...

Hi puys,

I will be taking the GMAT around end June or beginning July. Not yet started preparing.

I am quite weak in the Verbal section, and am looking for some professional guidance on the same.
- Does anyone know any good VA prof for GMAT??
- Also, please pour in your suggestions as to how to tackle this section.


Took the powerprep and scored only 34 in VA 😞 😞 :(

Please help.

PS: I stay in western suburbs.

Count me in too....similar profile- a frustrated psychotic working individual with just under a couple of yrs of wrk exp. gearing up for a test of aptitude-as if there's anything remaining in the tank

Time to get serious now..well if there's anybody with an OG 12 and a prior experience of going thru OG 11 , kindly highlight if there's a drastic change in there....or if the story is similar to OG10-OG11....

Guys I came across this blog... Its awesome, I would say one stop for a bit of everything.

How I Got a 770 in GMAT: Gear up!!

# For selection of books : He had categorized as Must have, Recommended supplement and Recommended others (with clarity which book is an alternative to other...)
# Link to much useful Web resources (including PaGalGuy) and some of the typical Web logs...
# Strategies to improve in each heads of verbal and quant.
# The most amazing part is, he has given a statistical daily schedule of how to study and organize our self from (DAY1 to DAY45). too good !!

Above all he has shared his Game Plan (I mean GMAT Plan) and experience...

I read on this thread couple of people were facing problem on how to schedule... what sequence to follow to study..
Friends I recommend to go thru this blog .... I believe it will help alot... or at least it will inspire.

Hi All,

All the best to everyone for their preparation.

I am looking to buy/borrow OG 11. Can anyone lend/sell OG11 to me.
Please PM me.

For people from the non-enineering background, I would suggest to go thru Quant by R.S. Aggarwal ... the concepts are really explained well and enough practice questions too.
