I had similar problem as people above reported:

- good grades on mocks and sucked big time on the real GMAT

And I found over and over that the real problem lies on the verbal section.

Everybody seems to be getting worse grades on the real GMAT than on the mock ones.

My impression is that only the OG has similar questions to the actual GMAT, all other materials lack in complexity thus most people (including me) did not get enough preparation on SC, reading comprehension and critical reasoning, but specially SC.

I don't have the OG verbal (the complementary one), I could not find it at esnsips..

Anyone can comment on the quality of this material?

PS: After getting 580 on the actual I bought the OG11 and Kaplan's GMAT Premier Program 2009.
The OG11 is really good and very important, but the Kaplan's Premier Program is very very very BAD, terrible, horrible!
I don't recommend to anyone, it is so basic that is not worth a penny! Also it is so thick, I feel bad that all those trees got cut to print this book!
OG11 is really good.
