Which GMAT official questions should I use? I have the 2021 GMAT official guide books but should I also purchase the question banks online?

the more official questions you do the better… I’d recommend making sure you feel comfortable with your knowledge and are in a good spot before digging into official questions as well because they are the most valuable

Yep, feel very prepared with 90% accuracy across all subjects on official questions thus far (although not timed yet). Just wanted to confirm if I should finish all official questions out there before taking the test

I’d do the OG book first and if you go through those there’s also books for each area- quant can advanced quant and verbal. Did you do any prep course?

DM me and can walk you through some thoughts/ send you some additional questions if you want

There seems to be a lot of questions about choosing between a lower ranked school with scholarship and a higher ranked school (1-2 tiers up) with less or no scholarship. Is there a general rule of thumb of how much the higher ranked school is worth? I doubt people would choose the lower school if the money difference was $1k, but many people would if it was $200k, so the answer is somewhere in between for most.

I've been working full time for 13 years and need a break. Thinking of taking a sabbatical and would like to spend some time in Europe, thinking about doing some kind of studying/short course abroad. Have any of you heard or done something like this before? Any ideas? The course could be anything really, doesn't even have to be work/consulting related. Preferably something low stress that I'd still learn from.
