Why don't you have a look at Kaplan Math workout. I have seen good reviews for the book. I have it with me ,but haven't used it yet.

If you want to see the review , goto the review section of this site.

Hi,

What was your breakdown for each test?
How have you been performing on practice tests?
How did you do on your college entrance exams?

On my 7th attempt, I scored a 680 (47 Q, 37V). I was psyched and encouraged until I was rejected from my top choice, waitlisted at my #2 and have an interview pending at #3. It made me so pessimistic that i don't think I'll get in, and I'll have to reapply. In any event, as much as I don't want to take this freaking test for an 8th time, I want to maximize my chaces of getting in next year. My last three attempts at the GMAT had pretty consistent Q scores 47, 45, 47, but my verbal finally went from 32 to 37. If I can get it to 40, I will finally hit that 700+. Can anyone suggest materials to help me get that 40+ V score? Also, I need data sufficiency help. Problem solving seems to be no problem for me.

Thanks everyone

I guess the rest of my app was ok. I didn't have a stellar GPA but I was in an engineering program. My app got me an interview with a top 5 school (and a subsequent waitlist), so I think it must be ok.

The materials you've used are okay, but if you want to get your score in the high 600's or low 700's, try GMAT Advantage or Ace the GMAT.

You can buy them from Amazon. I have both of these books and I think they are great.

I think if you have the energy for a 5th test why not try.

Good Luck

This is the first time I hear about these titles!

Could you share in what ways these books are different from Kaplan's and PR's books and CDs?
