All the math gurus are earnestly requested to contribute the basic ideas on the topics. Thanks all.

Congrats man. Would you please advice me regarding verbal? 1. What strategy have you followed in CR, RC and SC? 2. To pace RC what is your advice? Thanks.

iwillget750, I have made a list of all the chapters that are very often tested in the GMAT. I have done it by digging GMATPREP many times. You will get the list going to the following link: http://www.www.urch.com/forums/gmat-problem-solving/109165-math-topics-very-often-tested-gmat.html Just try to catch every topic's idea. I am sure you will also do the same as I did. Thanks.

I have attempted the GPREP many times. From those tests I have seen that these are the topics that are tested in that software. And hence, it can be inferred that the same topics are tested in the real exam. So, let's discuss the basics and techniques on those topics. Thanks.

Thanks Asif, Second time I have given more weight on maths. For verbal I have gone through the OG11 and this forum. I am weak in reading. I can't grasp the idea quickly. I know I can but I don't know the way. SC: I think in real exam, SC questions are full of style errors, modifier errors, and rhetoric. Obvious grammatical errors are less than those of stylistic errors. What should be done? CR: I felt CR relatively easy. It seems to me that I could not reach to higher scores and hence easy cr's were there. RC: I did not get RC's. I could not understand the RC's meaning. I couold not organize them. What should I do? Thanks a lot.

Men, I am the one who has nothing in head. I failed again. My scores: First test: November, 2008: 460(M37, V17) Second Test: January, 2009: 510 (M49, V14) Would you guys, please advise me how to develop in verbal? I have emphasized on math and I did it. What should be done with verbal? Thanks guys.

Would any one suggest me how to develop in math and verbal parts? Thanks..

Yesterday I took my gmat. Unfortunately it 540 (M44, V20) I took the test very soon. Actually I wanted to know the real environment. I have come to some conclusions. My experience: Math: In math I have tried my best. But I have done some silly mistakes. I am weak in some specific areas. 1. Coordinate geometry 2. Permutation and Combination 3. Absolute Value. 4. Series problems. How can I develop in those areas? Verbal: I was just guessing the CRs but in SC I was doing good. Of course in RCs I am doing the same as CRs. The problems I faced: 1. I could not grasp the whole thing of CR and RC quickly. 2. To be quicker in reading what can I do? 3. In RC, I was not sure about the answers. Meanig that I was not sure whether the answer that I answered is correct or not. 4. In CR, how can I develop? thanks every one.
