If, however, you're aiming even higher - say, at a score of 750+ - learn every concept that the GMAT tests, and learn them well. Practice alone won't be enough - when you get to the higher score ranges, you run into questions that come in all sorts of weird forms. These forms are likely to be very unfamiliar to you, which is why you'll need to know the concepts and the principles behind their applications, as opposed to only knowing how some types of questions are answered



You said "learn every concept that GMAT tests".... How do you know wich are all the concepts that GMAT tests? There are many obvious, but the list might be infinite.... How do you know where the list ends?

Manhattan GMAT books cover pretty much every concept.

I don't know Ilya.b, the Manhattan's books are great and I agree they are a must read, but some of them tend to miss a few crucial concepts and their suggested approach is often too lengthy..
but then again to add, must-do to start off with.

Maybe...

From my real experience on Quant - I didn't have any issues with concepts on the test and believe MGMAT books helped here. I knew the concept for every problem but I guess I screwed up a couple of problems by computation errors.

Regarding Verbal - Although I found information regarding RC & CR in MGMAT books useful, it didn't help me much apart from engaged reading & making notes. I relied more on gut feeling rather than any structured approach.
