Good afternoon everybody.
I’m here because I restarted studying for gmat a couple of days ago already (Q43 V34,630 overall, in my last gmat exam). To do so, I bought the new mgmat books, which I’m almost finishing right now.
Reading these books I noticed that, in the quant book, the combinatorics chapter is very basic so I’m not learning anything from it. This topic of the gmat test was one of the most difficult for me, so right now I’m trying to get better at combinatorics but mgmat is not helping.
What would you recommend me to improve on combinatorics? I aim to score Q49 or more, so I really need to learn that topic.

Wait on combinatorics until you're already consistently at Q46-47. Until you're at about that level, the combinatorics problems you see on the test will be fairly basic, in line with what's in the book. (There's always a chance of getting a super hard one, but it's quite likely to be an experimental problem if you do, or an 800 level problem that you don't have to get right to score well.) A good rule of thumb is to primarily study material that reflects what you'd see on your adaptive test if you took it right now, rather than material that you'd see in a hypothetical future GMAT once you're scoring much higher.
