I took the GMAT yesterday, and i am too ashamed to say my score. I have done the test about 4 times now. I joined this forum last year and all the materials have been very helpful...regardless of my score not improving. I admit that the past 3 times i did not prepare for the exam because I was just taking it so as to have a GMAT score. This time which I studied my butt off because i finally found a course i like which is in a B school, which at this point I am thinking i am not a B school material. I know i want to further my education is what i want to do at this stage of my life, i have been out of college for about 9 years now still that is no excuse. Now that i am done spilling my guts; i have come to the conclusion that i apparently do not know " HOW TO READ FOR THE TEST" & "MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW TO TAKE THE TEST". I freaked out yesterday. PLEASE CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND VERY GOOD PRIVATE INSTRUCTORS THAT HAVE PROVEN RESULTS. THANKS TO ANYONE IN ADVANCE WHO TAKES TIME OUT TO REPLY TO MY POST AND GIVES ME SUGGESTION MUCH APPRECIATED......

My name is I.K i will be taking the gmat in april this year but i need advice on these books because i am aiming for scores within the 700 range. I have OG11 and OG10, Kaplan 800, princeton review 2006. Reading the blogs of some of the people who have scores in the 700's. They used these books and Kaplan verbal and math, Princeton verbal and math and Kaplan Gre and Gmat with the books i already have. Please I would really appreciate it if anyhone can tell me if i should go ahead and add these other books to what i already have or stick with my OG11 & OG10, Kaplan 800 and Princeton review 2006. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, I was told to get the "cracking the GMAT 2006 edition/princeton review" but I can't seem to find the 2006 edition only the 2007 & 2008, now does the 2007 & 2008 edition have the same strategies as the 2006 edition. Thank you. I also need to know where I can get like practice GMAT cds'. Thank you

Every one tells me the key to GMAT sucess is to know the BASIC RULES!!! now does anyone know books that will explain these basic rules especially for the quant section. Are the rules in OG11 enough because I feel like I need more to read. Can some one please help me?

Thank you so much for your advice......

My main problem is quant. section and RC. What other helpful suggestions would you give regarding these areas...Once again thank you for your quick response.

Thank you for your quick response....I have the OG10, is that okay or should I get the OG11?. Also do you think the math formulaes in the OG10 or OG11 are enough?. Did you read general articles to enhance your performance for the AWA and RC?. Thank you for your quick response.

Do you think it will be wise to get a timer?.....to time oneself.

Thank you sooo much, congratulations on your score...now aside from the esnips.com any other advice on what to start reading for those of us whose last score was in the mid 500's and wants to score in the 700's. My friends say that is impossible but I think I can do it. All I need is the right direction I think that is what most people need. What are your thoughts on that. I have the GMAT review 11th edition, kaplan 2006 am going to get the Kaplan 800, and GMAT prep cd's and Kaplan cd 2006 BUT I need more materials> PLEASE do you have anymore suggestions.

I guess what am trying to ask is what are the materials that helped you and where did you get the materials from?

Congratulations I just joined...what is OG11 i keep hearing and GMAC papers. I am okay with the quant section but can do way better, rc and sc. I do not like the comprehension part. I have Kaplan books. Where can I get practice Cd with formulars that you said you memorized and practice questions.
