My congrats. I thought from your posts that you have already taken the test earlier. How much time did it take you to rise from 530 to 740?

thanks everyone,, Sorry for the late reply.... My Experience with GMAT:

First one: Took the GMAT on Dec 2008. Did not prepare well, so landed up getting a sad 530 (Q-44, V-19). However, i was scoring like 620 in the Gmat prep so was quite shocked to see a 530.

Second one: After having a break for 2 months I Joined Jamboree(Coaching for GMAT) in feb. It helped me forming a base for Verbal especially in SC's.
I didnt do much for Quant just followed the Jamboree material which had 650 questions.
For verbal : SC- Manhattan SC guide is a must, Sahil's notes. I would suggest to complete Manhattan atleast 3-4 times. Did OG-11 and focused more on the reasoning rather than getting the question right. 1000 SC's.
CR- Nothing can be better than Powerscore. The concepts given for different types of questions are brilliant. Did first 250 questions of 1000 CR's.
RC - just did some of the 1000 RC's

Gmat Prep. is the best tool that u can get for practive. Also it is the closest to the Real GMAT. Howere, quant in the real test is slightly tougher. My scores in the Mocks:

Power prep1 : 710 (Q-49,V-36)
Gmat Prep1 : 690 (Q-50,V-34)
Princeton1 : 670 (Q-42,V-41)
Power prep2 : 740 (Q-50,V-40)
Princeton2 : 670 (Q-51,V-31)
Kaplan1 : 580 (Q-50,V-27) [Useless]
Gmat Prep2 : 730 (Q-50,V-40)
Kaplan2 : 570 (Q-40,V-29)
Gmat Perp1a: 690 (Q-51,V-31)
Gmat prep2a: 710 (Q-51,V-33)
MGMAT free : 730 (Q-49,V-39)

G-day: Quant was same as in GMAT prep just a lil tougher. I spent more time on the first 15 question so was not left with enough time in the last 4 questios. I guess thats y i missed a 51.
Verbal was easier than i thought more like the GMAT perp level.

All the best to every one preparing for the GMAT, just focus on the basics and anyone can cross 700.
