Hi guys,

I read reviews from few test takers who did well and they suggested the Manhattan materials for sentence correction and for math(???). Anyone recommend these?

I am retaking my test and have only 3 weeks left.
Also, someone is offering me the PR course materials. Aren't they any good? or is it wise to stick to OG and mba.com software? I'll purchase accordingly.

Thanks much!

I have all 7 Manhattan books and I would rate them about 6 to 7 out of 10. They are good if you are specifically weak on a certain area and they give you some extra information on that topics but don't expect you'll get much practice exercise from the books. I also think they don't cover materials well on CR and SC. their methods are quite lengthy and time-consuming. Also, the cons to their exercises is that it's not formed as a multiple choice question like the GMAT.

So there you have it. if you are particularly weak on a certain math topic, then purchase it accordingly.

Hope it helps

I agree

I have the Word Translations book....If you are OK in quant (7-8 in a scale of 10) this book is of little worth.. :twisted:

SC is a good one though. I like it a lot...Thats a good job :-D

I haven't used the Manhattan books, but if you are looking for extra problems, you might re-take the GMAT Prep tests. For what it's worth, my friend's GMAT instructor scored in the 99th percentile and suggested to his students to take each test 5 times. Of course your score will be inflated; however, there are always problems rooted deeply in the system so you inevitably get some new problems. His reasoning is that, after fives times each, you'll see almost every problem variation that the GMAT tests. At that point you should know what you're getting wrong, and you can come to GMAT club and search for specific question types to focus on your weaknesses.

HI, big thanks for this helpful advice.
By GMAT prep tests you mean the 2 that come on the cd from mba.com
correct?

Thanks!
