Hi Dear,
Official Guide for GMAT Review 10th ed book is really helpful for GMAT students many sample questions are given in it and all most syllabus are cover by this book
the best thing is it is very helpful to crack this exam in minimum time. and I also want to opinion about GMAT 2013 with 6 Practice Tests Book...

Going through Aristotle SC. Very nice book. very clear explanation and classification of SC problems.

If you can afford it, buy a few of the major books - Prnctn, Kplan, etc. I found that when I looked at three of them, the areas on which they intersected were the important ones.

Hi all,

For 2014, the only book we recommend in conjunction with our course is the Official Guide, 13th edition.

You should only use this book once you have completed most of our program, as it is only a practice book and does NOT teach a student how to attack each question type. Our course already includes 5,000+ questions, so the Official Guide, which only has about 850 questions, contains fewer questions.The Official Guide does not always provide the most thorough explanations, so do rely on our lessons and techniques even if you use the OG. The point is: The Official Guide is an excellent extra resource. Use it in conjunction with our program, not as your main study resource.

Thank you,

Elizabeth

You have sent me this over a PM. Please do not double-post.

Manhattan series is the ultimate for in depth knowledge of concepts !

But i guess the gmat club books(quant ) and magoosh free ebooks for grammar are also a good asset for those looking to score good in exam !!

Specially the gmat club quant book authored by bunuell is ultimate for last time revision

Also sincere thanks To Mike from Magoosh for making a lot of useful content available to students !!

Hey guys,

Just stumbled upon this site... really amazing won't lie.
I'm actually taking the GMAT in approximately 2 months. I'm doing my studying using the nine MGMAT guides + Official GMAT review 13th edition.
I'd appreciate if anyone could let me know if this seems like a reasonable study plan or not.

Hello,

I'm getting ready to begin preparing for the GMAT exam. After searching and reading I've narrowed my options down to a few books. I'm wondering if all are worth getting or if I should only get a couple of them. I have three months to prepare so I want to be realistic about how much I can actually read. Two toddles can make that a bit difficult.

The ones I am considering are:

1) Official GMAT Guide (Was thinking of getting the three books - are the quantitative and verbal worth it?)
2) Manhattan GMAT Guides set of 10
3) Kaplan Premier (is this worth it?)

Thank you! Any help is much appreciated!

Also, if you found this post helpful for you please give kudos! Would love as much practice help as I can get! Thanks!

it really depends on what lelvel you are at and how long ago you did Math.
I found foundations to be pretty easy and basic, but some will need it to get up to speed....
