Good to Great -6  − 10 January, 2008

I have finished Kaplan's Four GMAT Tests as well as GMAT PowerPrep Tests and now I have decided to not take any test for one month and do intensive practice of topics I am committing mistakes. I have also prepared a list of my 'Stupid Mistakes' and remind myself of those before every practice session. For example, I always feel very comfortable with Quantitative questions and hurry to mark the answer and in process, sometime I miss the twist in the tail (difference in units etc.).

Geometry and Inequalities are the two main problem areas  where my accuracy level is low and I need to dedicate a lot of time on Verbal Ability Section. Here I have adopted the strategy of solving as many problems as I can and go through the explanations. The target is 60 questions (VA -30 and PS-30).
One advice for those who are comfortable in Problem Solving, the first 100 questions in Official Guide are just useless, instead go and solve last 100 problems.

Some of the resources I am consuming right now are
  • Scoretop's 1000 Sentence Correction Problems (very useful, though the answers are not explained.)
  • Scoretop's 1000 Critical Reasoning Problems
  • Manhattan's Sentence Correction Guide
And yes, now I am reading a lot slowly and trying to grab  maximum from a passage (doing all the time whatever I am reading..). I try to figure out the central theme of the passage, the sentence structures and anything which seems to give me even an iota of discomfort.
