Hi everybody,
I recently decided to prepare for the GMAT
I read many articles on this website and I am gonna buy the official guide book plus the manhattan set. Do you think I'd better buy the whole GMAT 2016 Official Guide Bundle ? I don't know if the verbal review and the quantitative review books are necessary if I study with the manhattan books. Thanks

Hi jbyx78,
The books that you've mentioned are a good option 'to start' with, but you'll likely end up needing additional resources besides those (you may or may not need the subject-specific books though).
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
