done with gmat 720 Q49 (86%) V 38 ( 84%)

Thanks Stacey and Ron for helping me conquer SC.

Pointers :

Verbal was tough . Sc was a piece of cake after extensive practice but GMAT got me in the weird RC passages . This affected my logical reasoning skills and hence CR and RC went for a toss.


I found Maths little tough but still got a 49(as usual).

I have heard that top 10 b schools consider 80 80 split.Can some please let me know whether it is an urban legend or is there really something like it?

Thanks

ps : Manhattan Gmat CAT are great tests to practice with.

Hi Ankit,

Congrats on the great score!!! You mentioned 'SC was a piece of cake after extensive practice'. Can you please elaborate what material did you use specifically for SC?

I too have heard about the 80/80 rule and read one school that follows it quite seriously.. (Wharton!)

Thanks

GMATPREP Verbal forum on this website. I am sure you have gone through it. Here are some pointers (In my opinion).

- Go through all the posts on the forum.
- Find out why other 4 options are wrong
- If you have a doubt, ask the Instructors. They are really great
- Make your SC rule guide book .

Regards,
A
