[QUOTE=shahidalileghari;440899]I have given Gat test 3 or 4 times and every time I attempt the English portion first,then Quantitative and in the last analytical portion.It is better to have as much time in analytical as u can.because analytical portion is most difficult and it requires lot of time.I suggest everyone to have a watch with them.so that they can guess how much time they have left.[/QUOTE]

I agree. As I already said everyone should have in mind his or her weaknesses and strengths. Arithmetic and Analytical Reasoning were my strengths so I started with them. The choice is at the end of the individual.

I endorse shahidalileghari. It has been an issue in the past to even just pass the GAT test but now people are getting more than 90% score only because of the perfection in time management and improved aptitude as well. I have improved my score every time when I have taken this test. To my point of view, the best strategy to attempt the test lies with this sequence & time:
1. English: 25-30 minutes
2. Quantitative: 35-40 minutes
3. Analytical: 50-60 minutes

the best book in my opinion is Barron's "how to prepare for the GRE test" and also the GRE big book.It is particularly good for analytical reasoning questions. dogar's gat general book is also good.

brother courageneverdies's

I am an Engineering student.so on our side there were 40 analytical reasoning questions that's I am saying that it takes lot of time.

Thanks a lot for sharing the names of books

In my opinion, Cracking the GRE is one of the easiest book I use for GRE. what do you think? Barron's book is some how seems difficult to me.

though i have 76 marks in GAT
My field is Engineering

I suggest to concentrate on Analytical and logical portion I have 31/40.In this portion my tecnique was eliminating the wrong choices.

Also try to solve Quantitative quickly.

I used GAT Blue book(forget exact name)

Order of solving--Quantitative,English Analytical.

The interesting part is in first 15 mint I managed to solve only 2 math questions.
To me the key is keeping your nerves cool


Best of luck sis laila
