I think if you are looking forward for advance section of GMAT, TTP is best for Quant part, however they have launched new verbal section as well, the reviews are good as per say. You can gather more information by asking in the main chat room. 
Plus you can Always use Official GMAT advance books to sharpen your skills it has 300 something advance questions which are of definite good.

For SC definitely yes. For Quant you may consider GMATClub math book and tests - they are way good. However, if you are into books, buy them. 
Note that you can get 700 with Manhattan but beyond its only you who is the deciding factor.

Hi
Did you try "manhattan advanced book". This is awesome for technique. You can also try  "Manhattan Challenge question".

Hello,  enryzz . The previous edition of the Manhattan Prep guides is just as applicable now as it was a few years ago, and, more to the point you brought up in your post, just as applicable as the newer, condensed edition. If you have a month to go and are currently scoring in the range you indicated, then it might be more beneficial to focus primarily on less advanced material. I say this not to discourage you, not at all. It is just that if you do not shore up your weaker spots sooner rather than later, you will risk  assuming  that you will see harder questions when you might never get to see too many. I have seen this happen before, and I hope to spare you the doubt and hurt feelings that accompany a drastic underperformance. If you get your hands on the guides soon and take a practice test in another week or two and see an improvement to the 650 level or so on  an official  practice test, then you might consider focusing more on advanced material. A month is not too much time to prepare for a test like the GMAT™, but there is enough time for you to make some serious gains. Just remember to take one step at a time, week by week, day by day.

Good luck with your studies.

P.S. Good to hear about your positive experience with PrepScholar. I have had students use the site for ACT/SAT prep, but this is the first I have heard of someone using it for GMAT™ prep. If you do not mind my asking, what features did you like/dislike about it?

In time constraint, I would use: 
1) MGMAT book for SC
2) gmatclub test for Quant practice
3) latest OG for SC and Quant

Thanks for the great answer! I’ll definitely try to address my weaknesses first and then focus on more advanced questions.

The Prepscholar course was good and well structured! It lacked a bit of strategy in CR and overall overall 650+ strategy in math (that’s why i was looking for something more advanced, to get past the limit i hit with Prepscholar only). Nonetheless, i would really recommend it for someone totally new to the Gmat and would like to point out that their customer service is super good.

I appreciate the follow up. I was curious about PrepScholar because I also know that the company has purchased rights to use official ACT questions, for example, and that is something GMAC™ does not do, to my knowledge, with GMAT™ questions. Wiley is the sole distributor of official questions beyond those that can be found on mba.com. In any case, if you prefer print guides to online learning modules, the Manhattan Prep guides should prove useful. Some students prefer the PowerScore CR Bible for, well, CR. But for Quant, no one seems to badmouth Manhattan Prep, so if you are on the fence, it is probably time to pony up and get those guides.

Once again, I wish you good luck with your preparation.

Thanks for the heads up! I caught up with my weaknesses and got a 730! Your initial suggestion proved extremely beneficial to me! Thanks! Kudos!

AndrewN · Answer

Wow, what an amazing improvement,  enryzz . Your score stands as a testament to the power of a strong performance on Easy/Medium questions. I am glad that something I said left an impression on you, and that you took that advice and turned it into a personal achievement. Best of luck to you, wherever that 730 may lead you.

Congratulations on a (GMAT™) job well done. Thank you again for the update.
