So I am preparing on my own( and on budget) for GMAT :)

Have not booked my test yet, taking my time and want to progress slowly, but successfully.

Looked at this thread: https://gmatclub.com/forum/don-t-want-t ... 11878.html and this one https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-prep-on ... 82151.html

For now, my question is I can get an official guide(OG) from 2016( or maybe 2017, doubtful though?), would that be any different than 2018 or 2016 can be a good start?

I am also looking at GMAT Club Math Book v3 - Jan-2-2013.pdf and GMAT-Club-Grammar-book-2017.pdf.

So question from experts, is that a good start for a beginner or you would suggest something different based on your experience?

P.S: I am also mixing and matching some youtube videos in it too.

Thanks so much for all of your advice and help.

All the questions are well collected on GMAT club .. Start solving questions instead of thinking so much about a few questions
Think on a larger scale. Focus to maximise your scores. If you have OG 2016 and 2017, they are enough .. Just solve it twice or thrice.. It will fetch you gr8 scores. Also there are lots of questions posted on GMATclub, keep solving these questions (with timer) and it will help u to improve your scores.

Enjoy..

Thanks very much guys, I really appreciate your help and feedback.

I'll stick to either OG 2016 or OG 2017, whatever I can get my hands on :)
