GREGMAT + TTP for math

like

Scored a 330 self study.

Used magoosh book, ets book, and the 2 ets subject books for practice over 3 months.
For vocab, I recommend Barron's list of 300 ish most common gre words and the list in the back of the Magoosh book. I basically spammed quizlet sets everyday on these words for a few weeks.

As to RC, I thought magoosh did a better job explaining why questions were wrong VS the ets book which gave very generic explanations, but both were good practice. Greprepclub forum helped as well for explanations. Definitely do some side reading in your free time to get your brain into the habit of consuming boring topics.

For math, it's mostly taking practice tests and using the tested tutor on YouTube to learn more difficult topics. Definitely use the online free tests from ets here, since it's really hard to replicate a full "hard" math section using book resources.

Gregmat. I used Sherpa first but it sucked so badly. Had a tutor named Tae. Run like the wind if you get him.

I'm using Gregmat now. For Q, how did you use Gregmat beyond following the study plans? I'm wondering how to structure my problem sets.

100% recommend Gregmat. Specifically for verbal, his list of 800 words is exhaustive and helped me score in the 95+ percentile. For Quant, TTP is more than sufficient.

Where do I find this list of 800 words?

Hi everyone

Is it okay to try for more offers in the notice period? I am feeling like why I am doing this but at the same time want to best offers.

And also thinking how should I convey if I didn't join the company even after negotiating and asking for a counter offer based on another offer.

Please advise and suggest.

Thanks
