P.S. If you are extra weak in Q or V (quant score less than 40 or Verbal less than 30), you can benefit from the MGMAT Math Foundations or MGMAT Verbal Foundations - both updated editions came out in Jan 2020

P.P.S. Congrats on your first post on GMAT Club.

Can you tell more about Verbal foundation book? Or may be share a link. I see the new book on amazon but would want to know more about it.

Hi Rythm09,

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.

You would likely be fine using those older books, but the GMAT has gone through some significant changes in the last 9 years (for example, the Quant and Verbal sections are shorter than they used to be - meaning that while there are fewer questions to answer, you also have less overall time to answer them). By extension, you would likely need addition, more modern, study materials to help you to hit your Score Goal.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
