MGMAT or OG first? [#permalink] New post   12 Sep 2011, 17:41
Hey guys - Have been cruising the forum for awhile and decided to take a plunge. I got the OG guide and MGMAT books, but nowhere do I see which to attack first? Do I complete the math section of the OG first then do MGMAT or what's the best order to take? Any help would be appreciated

Read MGMAT to first UNDERSTAND the fundamentals. Then use the OG to PRACTICE those concepts on the real exam questions. Also make sure to see the solution to all - correct and incorrect - questions while practicing.

Really? So you wouldnt use the OG at all for the explanations and concepts?

Well, as I said that you should read the explanation to the answers at the end, but you shouldn't use the OG just for the explanations. Use it more like a workbook. The questions are very valuable, so do not waste them. One you get done with 5 MGMAT Quant Guides - OG questions will seem very easy.

Agreed. This is how the Manhattan GMAT Strategy Guides are set up actually. Each section in the Guides contains In Action problems that help you understand the concepts. The Guides then give you specific OG problems that will allow you to practice the concepts on real exam questions. If you can, try to complete the OG problem sets in one sitting and be sure to time yourself.

Best,
