Dear Experts,

I am new to this forum but have heard from seniors as this forum is very helpful.

I am planning to submit GMAT exam after 3 months. Currently, I am at zero level, I mean, have not started any thing.

Can any one please guide me which books should I purchase " KAPLAN or Manhattan". I am basically electrical project engineer.

My English and maths has become very poor as have been away from studies several years.

Would appreciate if any one can guide me.

Thanks in advance.

First, we recommend getting the GMATPrep software from mba.com and a copy of the Official Guide --13th edition or the 2015 edition is fine.

Lastly, do some practice questions -- our online open Q&A platform is a great place to start to get familiar with each question type. Upgrade to get access to video explanations: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/

Can't comment on Kaplan as I don't have any experience with it, but MGMAT is considered the gold standard/Bible for GMAT prep and it is what I used. Getting Official GMAT Guides are also a necessity.

We have a book called Foundations of GMAT Verbal. That might be a good starting place for you. I also recommend that you start on the Sentence Correction guide early so that you have time to work through it all slowly. You don't want to cram all that content at the last minute . . .
