This is GMAT Club's Most Popular 20 GMAT Books Please also see this recommendation: Best GMAT Books Did you ever wonder which GMAT Books are most popular? We did!
We looked at our forum and counted the number of times each of the GMAT prep books has been mentioned by our members and created a popularity ranking.Not sure about you, but I was surprised a little to see the books that made it to the top. On the other hand, the search results included all references starting with 2003, so potentially popularity of some books is inflated as others were not yet available back then. But again, at the end of March we will release the updated ranking that will reflect only results for March. I am not sure how to best post tables in the forum, so here is one version and also another version with links at the bottom: Code: Also, let me know if there other notable books we should include into our ranking and we will keep track of those as well. [b]Here is the same list but linked to Amazon.com - you can read their reviews as well. 1. The Official Guide for GMAT Review2. Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction3. GMAT 8004. Official Guide for Verbal Review5. Official Guide for Quantitative Review6. Kaplan Verbal Workbook7. Kaplan Math Workbook8. Cracking the GMAT by Princeton Review9. Kaplan Premier Program10. Manhattan GMAT CR Book11. Powerscore Critical Reasoning Bible12. Manhattan GMAT Number Properties Guide13. Project GMAT Advanced Math14. Manhattan GMAT Word Translations Guide15. Powerscore Sentence Correction16. GMAT for Dummies17. Manhattan GMAT Geometry Guide18. Manhattan GMAT Fractions, Decimals, and Percents Guide19.

Hi, Please go through this post: gmat-faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-gmat-75809.htmlYou should find a lot of answers in that thread. No, the $250 fee covers only your taking the GMAT and sending the score reports to 5 schools afterwards. This thread should give you some ideas on the prep strategy: gmat-study-plan-for-gmat-novices-start-your-gmat-journey-80727.htmlYour study plan will depend greatly on your current standing TheDuke wrote: Hello, I have a personalized question I was wondering if you can help me with:
I'm trying to figure out which books/packages would be best for me considering I'm not looking for an extremely high score (so don't need those advanced books/questions), and I have to work within these time contraints (so cannot go thru a ton of material)
-Essentially only looking for 580-600 score
-Study needs to be done in close to a 4 week period (not working at that time)
-Been out of University (B.Comm) for 2 years (taking GMAT in Canada)
-I dont anticipate I'm close to a "1 week and 700" club member
What would you recommend ?
1) The Official Guide for GMAT Review 12th Edition
2) .... (not sure)
3) .... (not sure)
OT Question - Does the GMAT fee of around $250.00 include any books? Or all materials (books) are purchased afterwards (extra).
Thanks!

Is the MGMAT Bundle with the three official guides, their own 8 guides, the practice papers and question bank good? Will it be worth the $250?
I have gone through the threads and except for the last post here, all the others seem to rank the books separately. But as a combined package of books from any given source, what do you think the best GMAT preparation books are?

Looks like a few books doing well including MGMAT Math Foundatiosn and MGMAT RC; a bit surprised Kaplan 800 is on the rise (not a bad book but it gets bashed a lot). Also looks like Kaplan Verbal Foundations are back on the map. Interesting month

For CR, PowerScore CR is the best (close second is the MGMAT CR) and Veritas also has a good CR book now too. So, yes PowerScore CR is the best but it does not compare to the OG 12.
