Good books,
for starters though... its a good book to get the concepts flushed out! Not to improve score from high 6XX to above 700!

Good book to start with.

I purchased all except RC, and I think they are excellent books. The SC is a gem. The other books are neatly laid out, and if you study them methodically I do think they will bump up your score. My overall impression of the MGMAT books is that they are very nicely made.

MGMAT is quite good, but for more in depth study - look at veritas "Project GMAT" which is specifically aimed at statistics, probability and permutations/combinations.

necromonger,
rhyme,
anybody else..

Q1- Could you tell me how many pages / problems in the MGMATs are dedicated to combination / permutation / probability?

Q2- Also & most importantly: although you seem to like them all to the point of wholeheartedly suggesting to invest in the whole 7-book series, could you make a top-3 (min) / top-5 (max) list of the most useful, most bang for the buck MGMAT guide (given that I'm a little short of money after having spent all my GMAT budget on IMO-USELESS KAPLAN COURSES..)???

Thanks in advance for the prompt answer!

Mercer, to answer your questions
Q1 - there is one book MGMAT that has comb/perm/prob - it is 3 chapters with about 4-5 pages per chapter and approx 15 problems per chapter. But as I mentioned, I did not like their approach to comb/perm problems.

Q2 - top-3 MGMAT books, imho
-Sentence Correction SC
-Word translations WT (distance, speed, work problems)
-Geometry.

Honestly, SC and WT are tops, the rest can come anywhere.
