For the verbal part I want to use the Kaplan Premier (RC, CR) + MGMAT for SC. As I am an international student i assume the verbal will be the most challenging for me and especially my grammar needs to be brushed up. Are those two books enough to meet my demands?

Hi,

I personally used the books mentioned in the below link.
How to start GMAT preparations?
how-to-start-gmat-preperations-136048.html

At the end of my preparation i was confident in SC and CR atleast. RC was a gamble anyways!
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the advice mate. I spend the last time to study the concepts for the verbal part and found the Kaplan approach for CR alright but I think the RC concpet is not suited to my english skills and too time-wasting as I can hardly read and draw a passage map in under 4-5 minutes. For a passage with 3 question waaaay too much. Did you find that concept helpful or how did u improve your RC?
Cheers!
