1. McGraw Hill GMAT
2. Manhattan 10 Strategy Guides
3. Manhattan Foundations GMAT Verbal
4. Kaplan GMAT 800
5. PowerScore CR Bible

Thank You.

My Verbal is beneath Poor.

Hi Parthluthra,
You posted this in another forum on this site, so I've copied over my response from there:
Without knowing more about your particular skills, strengths and weaknesses, I would say that your score goal is unrealistic. A 780+ score goal is one that most Test Takers will never achieve in their lifetimes. In addition, no Business School requires a score that high for admission. This is all meant to say that this is not a reasonable goal; however, if you want to study until you achieve it, then that is up to you.
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) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi Parthluthra,
Is there a specific reason why you selected those resources for your GMAT prep? Before providing any specific advice, I would like to learn more about your GMAT experience and MBA goals.
1) Is this your first time taking the GMAT? If not, could you provide us with the score breakdowns for any previous GMAT attempts?
2) If you are just starting your GMAT prep, have you taken an official MBA.com practice exam to get a baseline score?
3) To what schools do you plan to apply and what deadlines are you targeting?
4) How many hours a day can you study for your GMAT and for how many months?
