Hi, Can anyone please reply? I am waiting. Thanks in advance. cheers, Pradeep

Hi, Can someone tell me if the book titled 'Answers to the real GMAT questions - 3rd edition' (Arco) that was published on Jan 2003 has sample responses to all the revised essay topics? Thanks in advance. :cool: cheers, Pradeep

gymshort79, we are in the same boat. I found Kaplan verbal workout has a good list of idioms at the end. You may want to photocopy them (they are just about 10-15) pages, if you are doing well on the other verbal question types or if you have bought the kaplan GMAT cdrom (as the cdrom includes all the practice that are available in the verbal workout). cheers, pradeep

You get one free when you register for the GMAT. But the catch is, GMAC asks you to first input essays on experimental topics, and only then they will allow you to enter the essay which will be graded instantly by the eRater. So you do three essays in all. Check out mba.com (official gmac site for students), they offer a essay grading product, where they grade your essay for some $$. 800score.com also offers the same service. With regards to practice, there are several sites which offer free downloads of essays. If you want to download sample essays responses to all topics download it from edonkey.com (you will need the emule client software for this). cheers, pradeep

GMAT = Admissions into Business schools GRE = Engineering schools They are two different tests, and the decision to take one depends on your career plans... cheers, pradeep

I would appreciate if you can reply soon, as I have my test in 8 weeks. Thanks a lot mate. :) cheers, Pradeep

Hi jjomalls, I have been trying to figure out where can I purchase the Manhattan GMAT CD-ROM from. I am from India, and we dont have any reseller for Manhattan GMAT Prep courses (I checked this out). So I will have to buy from the internet. Can you please advise me the site where I can purchase this CD. :) One note about deltacourse.com: I have heard that their questions, specifically probability, permutations and combinations, are really good. I also get their daily GMAT question and solve most of them. But the site where you buy access to their site (clickbank), has a non-verifiable secure certificate.[:(!] I would not trust a certificate which cannot be verified for revocation, hence post-poned the purchase decision. Thanks mate, looking forward to your reply. cheers, Pradeep

One gets four different scores when one takes GMAT. First - Quant scaled score, this is what the Q-49 means. Second - Verbal scaled score, this is what the V-38 means. The % indicates your percentile score - how much of the test takers scored above or below you. (93% means, 93% test takers scored below you and 7% above you) Third - Total score on a scale between 200-800 Last one is AWA score in a scale of 0-6 (0 is very very rare).

Some yahoo groups and other servers in outernet have the soft copy (scanned) of the grammar section in the verbal workout. You may want to check that out before you buy the book.

Develop Test Mentality. Take several full length practice tests before the actual GMAT. I firmly believe that this test can be learned. Because this test is given on the computer intimidates most people. Use Iron to bend Iron. Prepare hard, learn to recognise traps, and practice a lot. You will do well. I have already raised my average score by 60 points in two weeks.

Can anyone tell me what is the best source for tough quant questions. I need to brush up on probability and cannot find enough problems in the [tooltip=Official Guide]OG[/tooltip]. I would be greatful if anyone can tell me a good source where tough quant questions are available. What about http://www.deltacourse.com, is this a good source? thanks, pradeep

Thanks Artur for your concern. I dont know any other forum, and use this one. Sometime I get good replies and some other times none.:(

Kaplan with CD, is a very good 'guide' to start with. Kaplan 800, as I have heard, has got some of the toughest questions. If you starting from scratch, I would recommend Kaplan 2004 with CD, since the software is very good (a little childish though), and has several full length practice tests and ability to create customised study plans based on the results of your diagonistic test. The CD has also some useful info about the schools, if you intent to study in the USA. NOTE: If you are buying the kaplan book with CD, then never buy the kaplan verbal workout as the CD has got all practice sets that you find in the verbal workout. However, the verbal workout has got a good english grammar reference. All the best.

.......Please help me.......

Some of the actual scores reported by test takers suggest that verbal and quant sections are scored seperately. Some people have scored 49Q and 22V and there are a lot of people who have scored the other way round as well. But, I do not know how the CAT arrives at your final scaled score. It may take your quant scaled score + verbal scaled score to arrive at the final score (What I am hinting is, the CAT never calculates final score when taking the test, it just calculates the section scaled score)
