i really appreciate your immidiate answers. thank you.

i must say that going through the forum i have realizes 2 things:
1. it's a long and winding road.
2. this forum and it's members can take me or anyone to the door.

i haven't seen such comprehensive approaches and systematic method of solving Quant (still didnt touch the verbal) in Kaplans, Princton's or OG's.

nevertheless is there a way to download material by topics, since walking through the threads (which took me an entire day) threw me from subject to subject and confused me a little more (i must admit that untill i read the discussion about Sets and Remainder i could not solve even the easiest Q).

THANKS IN ADVANCE

here is what i mean:
i aim for the 670+
i have MGMT 8 series
Kaplan 800
Powerscore CR bible
and OG 10+12
but, when i see some of the questions and some of the methods to solve them in the Forum (like Bunuel's-walker's math book and others and the hard question series).
Kaplan is way different from the Gmat
OG seems easier and with no strategy.

but, the material in the forum which is great to understand concepts is spread all over the forum.
is there a comprehensive math doc or docs (even with payment) which summarizes all the Quant material?

thank's

That would be the 8 MGMAT Guides or what do you think the purpose of those books is?

i am sorry for being so unclear and a bit hasty but i'll say that:
it seems that the MGMT GUIDES are quite comprehensive but after reviewing Overlapping Sets and Statistics i still feel a gap when i come to solve GMAT CLUB Q'S or any other difficult question from that area.

nevertheless, yesterday i found a thread which gathers all the Math Book into one Doc. and it seems a comprehensive and precise tool for those who dream to score high.
thank you all for the help. some of the methods here are way above averege.
