Hello.
I am currently new to GMAT and I am wondering what guides / books are good to study alone. As a university student, I do not have any money to invest in the materials so I wonder if I can get any free resources. Currently, I have Manhattan Prep 2012 edition and some of the 2016 edition. But I wonder if these books are enough and not outdated as it has been almost a decade since released. Are there any major changes to the GMAT exam formats within this one decade?

I am also doing the GMAT Official Guide and currently around 300-400 questions. But I am doubtful that this guide is enough as the questions in the guides are basic mathematics. Will the test be on a similar level or more challenging?

Lastly, may I know where I can get free GMAT mock tests?

I understand that I need to invest some money to get good materials. However, due to my situation, I could not. So I really appreciate the help from you.

Thank you so much for your advice :).

Hi vagivaldne,

If you wish to learn from books I would recommend using Manhattan guides along with Powerscore Bible for CR. And ya the OG is a must. But I would recommend you to use the OG only as a question bank as it may contain GMAT like questions but its definitely does not help you prepare. However, books are not interactive and they can't give you feedback as to where you're weak and what you should next to improve your scores. Moreover the recall from a book is not that great. There are much better methods of learning than learning from books.

You may find some useful videos here:

You can also attend our free webinar series DECODE GMAT 750+ that we are currently running to learn a few strategies that will help you prepare in a methodical way. You can register for the webinar series using the below link.

[/quote]Hi. Thank you so much for the reply. It's very helpful.

Regarding the Manhattan Strategy Guides, I only have the 2012 edition which is almost a decade old. I wonder if this is a good source for me to study from as it is already old and I'm afraid that the GMAT structure might've changed. May I ask for your advice for this?[/quote]

I have sent you a pm in answer to your reply. Thanks!

Hi vagivaldne,
Considering your timeframe, you can take one or two official CATs and review the lessons that you have gone through.

Good Luck!
