Hello everyone,
I'm going to begin my GMAT preparation. I've shortlisted the below materials that i intend to use -
1. Manhattan (All Books including Advanced Quant) - THEORY & CONCEPTS
2. OG 2019 (All three books) - OFFICIAL MATERIAL
3. GMAT Club Tests - QUANTITATIVE
4. Manhattan Mock Tests
Do the above cover all the concepts and question types tested on the GMAT? I'm aiming for a 720+ score. Please pour in your suggestions generously

Hi cafecorridor,
Many Test Takers who use a 'book heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. While there's no way to know whether that will happen to you or not, your Score Goal is above the 90th percentile (meaning that 90% of Test Takers will never score that high regardless of how long they study or the number of times that they take the Official GMAT. As such, you will likely end up needing to invest in some additional resources (including some non-book resources).
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 take 2 for free at 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 3.5 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?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hello Rich,
I choose a heavy book approach because I'm not too comfortable watching videos. Like, watching videos once would be fine but to revise the concepts regularly I'd have to re-watch the videos again and again. Since my quantitative ability is above average I think I can do well with textual material. As for investing in resources that is non-bookish, GMAT Club Tests is what I've finally narrowed it down to. Based on everything that I've read on here I have a feeling that these tests should take care of the quantitative part of the GMAT.
I spent some time browsing what you have to offer (the website) and I really liked it. But the issue is the 3 month access only. I'm not sure when I'll give the GMAT - could be in the next 3-4 months or even next year. I'm in no hurry as you can figure out. The Magoosh course also sounds quite tempting especially since they offer a 1 year access - but for now I've narrowed it down to the Manhattan Books for conceptual understanding.
1. I'll be taking the GMAT in about 3-4 months (most likely)
2 and 3. Haven't thought about the Business school part yet. I'm more keen on getting a good score first. The rest we'll see later
Do the resources that I've shortlisted cover every question type and concept tested on the GMAT?
