OG enough to get 760?

Question

I have taken my GMAT date. Its on 16th June. I am referring OG 2016, Quant review and verbal review. 
are these books enough to score 760?

Please suggest if I should refer some more books for practice.

Which all mock test are good and I should practice ?

Hello Sriraj, GMATPrep is considered best and is available for free download  here .

If you are already at around 700 level, then OG might be sufficient.

Hi shriraj93,

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.

Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores. With your current timeline, you have about 2 months of study time - with a score goal of 760, it's likely that you're going to have to push back your Test Date.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) Why is your score goal 760?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
3) When are you planning to apply?

Could be. It depends on your fundamentals. If they are strong, a review of these books should be enough to get 760. Once you run through the basic question types and understand what is required of you, you should take an official practice test from mba.com. If you get 700+ in that, you shouldn't find it difficult to bump up to 760. Sticking to these books is probably all you will need (of course, you should get a 760+ in the practice tests to ensure that you are prepared enough). Mind you, a lot depends on multiple factors so all this is conjecture. If your score in the first practice test is not up to the mark, you will need to get the study material from a test prep company. The OG and review guides do not have the detailed curriculum you need to establish your basics. The way forward for you should be this: Go through the review books and then try the practice test. Depending on the score you get, take a call on what you need to improve.

Depends on the individual. Some people (like me) are very unreceptive to tutored knowledge (may be we are wired that way), but others improve dramatically with tutored courses (online or on site).

IMO, OG n GMAT prep official questions are generally much easier than questions from other unofficial sources.
