I am just starting out in my preparation for taking the GMAT. My brother took the test a couple of years back and has been kind enough to give me the books he used.
He gave me the following:
OG 12th edition
MGMAT books (there's a set of 8 in total - Geometry - Number Properties - Fractions, Decimals & Percents - Word Translations - Critical Reasoning - Sentence Correction - Reading Comprehension - Equations, Inequalities & VICS)
Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook
GMAT Quantitative Review - 2nd edition
Beyond these books, are there any other must haves? My target score for the test is 600-620.

You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the prep companies including ours offer a free trial of the course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits you.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides too and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.
1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
I would recommend you to go for a newer version of Official Guide and also buy the two additional CATs (Exam Pack 1) from mba.com
Also, try to give a mock CAT and identify your current standing. You can download two mock CATs from mba.com
Make sure that you give the CATs including the AWA and IR.
1. When are you planning to take the GMAT?

Hi massp88,
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
