Hellu...
welcome to the gang ! the books :
PRINCETON REVIEW : this. it is opined as to be the closest to the
OG ... it has good tricks mostly in line with the POE a.k.a procees of Elmination
has a set of tests too but I hear the 04' edition has some software problem... the oo5 edition is in the market...
princeton verbal workout is better than most other books ...I do not have a view on the kaplan's I have not touched that...
arco's : found it useful especially the math was good... and they too have about 4 tests which are ok types ... strategeis are good but what U can find the best about the arco's is the essay book which covers almost all the topics which are provided in the
OG...
KAPLAN: U see the name itself needs capital letters...it is the 'tough' material type... of course nothing is so for the eveready typez. Kaplan adds to the good standardz of a good prep , in short it helps u to know how to climb a hill and thus helps ur climbing the hillock much easier...
do not base ur strenghts on the basis of KAPLAN scores...but yes if ur weaknesses are pretty evident then U better 'kill' them all and get ready...
OG : the bible or quran or the gita....watvever U can tell or oipne,WHY ' because it is the collection of the actual Gmat questions compiled and composed by the ETS... and only this gives u an idea as to how or what the test may be seem to appear. practise as much as U can ...from this and do it as many times as U can and have 2
for more that is if U are stil eager and hungry...keep in touch and try to spend some valuable time with this grp...
Finally, nothing maters more than hard work and yes IF u WISH to be the best u know it well only smart ness helps ...
PRACTICE smart and practice effectively....
and when U reach ur goal let us all know that we would be happy and it would help others like U ....
hope that helps !
Have fun
