Is that someone credible? Without knowing exactly what demographic you fall under and who that someone is, it certainly sounds like a pile of BS to me.

If that someone is a Dean of Admissions at a particular TOP 5 B-School, then I would have to give much more weight to what he or she said, but I somehow doubt that someone is such a Dean.

You should be exceedingly thrilled at such a high score.

Congrats on an awesome score!

These will refer to OG 12 in the latest edition. I have not read the latest Manhattan SC so not sure of any other differences. Also note that the GMAC Verbal supplement is equally important. And, OG 12 has a lot of bold faced critical reasoning questions which appear frequently on the real exam.

For my SC preparation, I read a chapter in Manhattan SC, and then did the exercises and questions from OG (and not the verbal supplement) corresponding to that topic. After finsihing all the chapters, I did OG again, trying to find errors in ALL the answer choices. Reading the answer explanations in OG helps a lot. After this, I did the verbal supplement, timing myself. Once this was done, I did a few questions every day until the test. The idea is to get to a point where as you read a question, you will identify similar questions you have done in the past, and look for similar answers ..

Hope this helps. All the best for your test ..

Thanks a lot for the info.I have the manhattan older version .Need to check for new one
