720 GMAT - From 500 to 720 (Q48,V41 :: 95%)

[TBAY]

Here are the verbal notes that I kept from Clintonn's page, which has since been shutdown. These were instrumental in lifting my verbal score from the mid-30s to their current level (V41). I am missing his 'Amateur Documents' and his 'Complete SC Guide'. If anyone has these, please post them for the benefit of the entire group.

Thanks.

TBAY,

Congrats on your score! Very inspirational stuff. I just have two quick questions for you.

If you could start the whole GMAT study process over again, what would you do to make it as efficient as possible in the least amount of time?

Also, did you have to pay for the drills and homework on bellcurves.com?

Thanks very much and good luck,

[thankont]

I hear that people have experienced a few problems when trying to D/L these. I'll post them again later today.

If you still have problems, post your email address and I'll send them to you.

I also hear that maxunderground has a 'Comprehensive' document, which includes Clintonn's notes, documents, etc.

Yes, I had to pay for access to bellcurves. The cost was $29.95/mo. Depending on where you are in your prep, you may not need it that long. I used it intensely for 1 month.

If I had to start over, I'd do the following:
Qaunt

1. Start w/ Manhattan GMAT books (all 7) to build up my fundamentals
2. Begin using TM
3. Go through each problem in OG11 ensuring that I understood the concepts being teested in each question
4. Get Project GMAT (by Veritas) for Comb/Perm/Prob fundamentals (I used to get EVERY question from this category wrong until I bought this book)
5. Sign up with bellcurves
6. Do quant SETS and GPREP intermittently

Verbal

1. Manhattan GMAT SC guide
2. GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible (I used to miss 8-10 out of 14 when before I bought this book. The week before my exam, I wasn't missing ANY!)
3. Clintonn verbal notes (a MUST!)
4. Verbal SETS ( A MUST!)
5. Read quality publications daily!

This would be my prescription. One other thing that I'd do is schedule the exam first. This will put a little pressure on you and you will study intensely!

Jubilations Tbay...Well Done!!!

I am not regular at TM. Guess I'll have to be...from now onwards.

May I please request you to put up the SETS on TM for everyone's benefit, now that Clinton's thread has been removed.
