Correct. OG is Official Guide, MGMAT is Manhattan GMAT books. Seems like you are a new user. You will get familiar as you read more posts.

Keep clicking kudos if your questions are answered. That will encourage people to respond to the comments. Anyway site moderators do monitor and do respond timely.

And just to confirm, I think I saw the GMAT Club tests are also available if you have more than 200 posts AND have been registered on the site for over 90 days.

Yeah but kudos encourages more users to respond. And its other way of saying thanks. I would prefer putting good comments which will help others and get kudos than to type lesser useful 100 posts.

But yeah everyone has different opinion and approach.

You make a good point. I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't read the information incorrectly.

Hey dev3017,

I think you might have better luck posting this in another forum. We were just discussing MGMAT books here.

Best,

Probably the best way would be to do a search. There should be a search bar near the top of your browser that you could use.

Otherwise you could post a new topic, by using the "New Topic" button, and hopefully you'll get replies that way.

Thanks bb. As I mentioned there are ups and downs with each approach. The downside I see with doing along with chapters is that I know that I have to look for particular area in OG problem rather than determining the area in itself first. For ex if I know I am doing an exercise for Parallelism I know I have to look for parallelism. Whereas first exercise is finding which category the problem is. I know no approach is best but just trying to brainstorm which approach maybe better for maximum benefits.


Hey, in a sense that is not 100% correct. In my case, I have actually performed better in advanced questions than in basic ones. I have wondered myself how is this possible. Then I realized that even though you know that you will be tested mostly on some i.e. parallelism questions, that does not automatically mean that there will be no idioms, modifiers, tenses etc. Thus, you can understand parallelism well but could do poorly on most of those questions because of other reason than not understanding parallelism. I would recommend you to make an error log, and put down in a word document every problem that you did not solve correctly.

As I said in my example I had better percentage of correct answers in advanced questions than basics questions. I think the reason is that my knowledge has accumulated. For SC, you will need to know every chapter if you want to do well because GMAC, in my opinion, is mixing chapters when it makes those questions. So if I were you, I would do OG problems as soon I get a reference from MGMAT guide.
