Desperate for some answers. [#permalink] New post   10 May 2013, 06:44
I am facing some dilemmas for a couple of days and would be grateful to experts and other members to provide some suggestions.

1) I need a book having good collection of 700-800 level VERBAL questions. please suggest some options.
(so far i could only find 'Kaplan 800 advanced prep for advanced students'. Should I go for it?)
I have solved official guide 12th 13th and verbal. I also have some MGMAT guides, but those dont have enough practice questions. Please advise.

2) I need access to Kaplan Practice tests. I am considering buying Kaplan Premier 2013 for that. Now, it says '5 online CATs' come with the book. But we already get 1 free Kaplan test anytime right. So those 5 tests are in addition to the 1 free test or i just get 4 more tests with the book?

P.S. I searched the forums for some answers like the Best books for GMAT etc, but didnt get any definite answer.

You receive access to the online problem sets for each topic covered in the applicable MGMAT guide if you purchased the guide new. Those online question banks are helpful and provide some advanced questions.

Good luck.

thanx for the reply Narenn, but as i already stated, i have browsed through those links but didnt get any definite answers. :(

RyanCJW. thats a good option if the guide itself contains advanced practice questions, buying a guide and getting a few online practice sets seems a bit non direct method. :?
better than none though.thanx

still hoping for some more suggestions.

Hi miteshk, it's hard to give advice without sounding biased, especially if we represent specific test prep companies. However, since you're asking for specific advice and haven't been satisfied with the information you've found thus far online in the general forums, let me throw out a quick word to describe the Veritas books for you.

Veritas believes in learning by doing, so the books contain a lot of material in the beginning of each book to help jog your memory about concepts you may have forgotten over time. The 12 books (6 verbal, 6 math) then go through the major topics of the GMAT, reviewing examples and typical questions you can expect to see. You also get high level takeaways about traps the GMAT likes to exploit, mistakes you're likely to fall for, and general information about the exam. While I can't speak to many of the other test prep books because I haven't gone through them thoroughly, I can vouch for the Veritas books. Additionally, since we teach to a fairly high standard of question, you'll see a high number of difficult questions to prepare you for a good score.

Again, the other test prep books all seem thorough and helpful, but I can only recommend the books that I know forwards and backwards. If this sounds like something that would work for you, I invite you to investigate further.

Thanks!
-Ron

thnx Ron.
currently i am fairly confident of the quants section (46-49 range as of now). i need some heavy stuff just for verbal.
even I am tempted to check out veritas material. but currently they are a bit out of budget :(
I feel strategy-wise i am not wrong. i just dont have those 700-800 level questions for verbal. :?

You mentioned you had owned the MGMAT guides - I was just saying they come with online question banks if you hadn't used them yet. Each book comes with one set of varying difficulty but a decent percentage of those online are advanced.
