Best GMAT Books - Latest Update

I am a bit concerned with the answers here as there isn't much about the Manhattan GMAT Complete Strategy Guide Set, 5th Edition

and therefore I was wondering if this version is different or better than the previous edition (from 2009 I believe)

I was thus sceptical about the necessity of buying the last version !


I am also going to buy the OG13, after having read a lot of this forum I figured out those two should be a strong basis that I could complete anytime afterward with more specific material.

D'avance merci !

I am sorry that I haven't taken yet the time to introduce myself nor to complete my profile but I am in a bit of a hurry as I need to get those books asap

There is a deal happening on Facebook's GMAT page for $185 you get a number of books. What do you think of the value of this deal?

Please post the link to the above deal.

Hi everyone,

I want to start and complete my study without leaving any gaps. Specifically, I want to make sure that I have covered all the possible quantitative parts, and all the possible verbal parts, as well as a good quality practice tests. However, I do not want to have multiple books that aim for teaching the same field. There are so many books that you may get lost among them. So, does anyone have the suggestion about the best combination of books?

Best one to cover quantitative topics A to Z: ?
Best one to cover verbal topics A to Z: ?
Best one in terms of practice tests for 750+ score: ?

After reading this thread I started thinking that having ONLY OG and Manhattan GMAT would cover everything from A to Z. What do you think?

Thanks in advance

I am completely new to the GMAT thing. What is the best way to start preparing for GMAT.? Any opinions..

The score you might achieve is a fairly individual matter, but OG12 + OG Quant2 + OG Verbal2 + Manhattan GMAT 8 Guides Set is usually enough for an average student to reach his maximum potential.

After you start studying you might realize that you need extra work for certain sections or specific concepts, but other than that you should be fine as far as theory and basic exercising are concerned.

Gmatclub has a very good selection of upper level questions; personally I would use that instead of, for example, Kaplan's 800.

Cheers!

Thanks for share lots of sources for preparing GRE test.

Any input on the Chili Hot GMAT Review Series? I got the verbal and math since they were smaller and cheap.

Full Review

Verbal

Math

I am in the process of finishing the MGMAT math set (equations,fractions,word problems, numbers and equalities etc). I have finished OG 12 for all PS and DS questions on mathematics..In addition to these books i am considering doing the MGMAT advanced quant, and the Kaplan 800 ( both of which i have allready purchased) . I am looking for a score close to 50 on the quant. section of the GMAT. I would love to get opinions on whether i should buy more books for quant or move straight over to the OG13 and solving math secitons on the Kaplan, MGMAT CAT's that i have purchased.

For verbal I am halfway into the GMAT CLUB grammar book, after which i will be moving on to the MGMAT verbal set and the kaplan and Princeton review verbal books. I would appreciate some advice on some other materials for verbal , especially for Sentence correction as i find this aspect of the verbal section the hardest.

P.s - I am looking for a 700+ score on my GMAT and as per my assessment I am around the 80 percentile mark in quant after having finished the MGMAT set and the OG 12 ( 10 wrong answers out of the 230 OG12 PS timed) ...

Hi BB,

Can you tell us more about this Manhattan GMAT roadmap, will it be useful for somebody who has already taken GMAT, or is it good for fresh starters only and also a little about its contents.

Thanks so much, in advance.
