great score, outstanding work... but weak recap man. If you score a 760 you must have at least one value-added tip beyond "be consistent" ... let us in on some of the trade secrets of a 750+ score

I have a question, I want to take the GMAT and I need advice on which material is better and which books can be used the best to prepare for the test. On amazon I saw there is a new Kaplan 2010-2011 Premier online book. Is this book enough for prep?
Thanks in advance

Great score

@atanasovd, book-wise, there is a whole bunch of suggestion out there. Though other's opinion may differ, I personally recommend taking a practice GMAT first and see where you're weak points are at. Then I'd go and purchase the books that will necessarily attack my weak areas. You can find free test on Manhattan GMAT, Princeton Review, GMATPrep (2 free tests).

Generally speaking though, you must have OG12 (plus its individual quant&verbal books). OG is published by GMAC, and reflects real questions that you'll see on the test. Manhattan GMAT books are also something that you can look into.

nope, that's not good enough... (if you truly want to get a 700+).

Thank you for the advice, I guess I'll get the Official Gudie since everyone says it's the best place to start and than I'll see where I need improvement.
I'll keep posted for more advice :)

Just search them man. As a club member I don't think it would be right to exchange these materials ( copyrighted ).
