Hi Guys
This is my first post here.
I’m an Italian engineer and I started to study GMAT the first days of July. I covered the 10 Manhattan preparation books(6th edition, the last one), but I have never tried Exam pack or practice test.
About the quantitative part, I almost finished to solve problems of the GMAT official guide 2016 and worked in the same time on the Manhattan Advanced Quant, but I have to review and analyze everything for argument. Honestly I found the OG 2016 a little bit more difficult for math than Manhattan Advanced Quant (especially word problems, probably because I’m Italian and sometimes I don’t understand
). Also the questions are really different. Is it normal? Am I normal? 
I like MGMAT books, they are useful but I learned strategies that I don’t use in the OG problems(just seldom).
I accept every kind of advice to improve my level for the Quant section.
Thank you

Hi Condor,
Since you have studied for several months already, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH CAT Test (including the Essay and IR sections) - so that we can measure your current strengths and weaknesses. From that set of scores, we will have a better idea about what you should focus on next. You can download 2 CATs for free from www.mba.com. Once you have your scores, you should post back here.
1) What is your score goal?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

EMPOWERgmatRichC thank you for the answer.
My goal is to achieve a score greater than 720. I would like to get the GMAT for april.
Unfortunately I can study just part time. My plan is to cover everything about quant section to master almost everything and just after that get a major focus on verbal section and start CATs.
In internet I looked for the most difficult books of the quant section and I found that OG 2016 and MGMAT Advanced Quant were the most difficult, so I thought that if I felt comfortable on those problems probably I would have reached a better score in quant part.
But the problems of these two books are really different so the question is:
Can I skip MGMAT Advanced Quant and achieve a really good score ??
After quant section I planned to get a major focus on verbal section on OG 2016 and finally to take practice test from mba, and manhattan. If you know harder Practice test but close to real exam please let me know.
I could try 2 CATs for free from mba but I'm not feel really ready right now.
I'm not native tangue so the first goal is to improve as much as possible the quant part to save my score. (of course I'm not going to neglect the verbal section)
