Hello guys!

I need your advice to increase my score. I am engnieer and international, so I like maths and i have trouble with the verbal section. I used kaplan courses and GMAT prep, but my verbal is still bad and my math could be better (I scored around 47).
1- I read in the forum that you recommand a book manhattan for SC, I checked in amazon and i found this one "Manhattan study -turbo charge your GMANT - verbal study guide". Is it this one that i should have? is it this one the bible of SC? What de you recommand else?

2- what do you recommand to have as gmat tool to increase my quatitative score from 47 to 50?

3- I see in the forum that you are speaking about OG, what is it??
Thanks a lot, I'm happy to have joined this forum, i'm feeling less lonely in this adventure!!

I guess GMAT Club Tests are what you need.

I also had trouble with verbal. In my case, manhattan gmat SC guide was very helpful but I think Official Guide is the best book. I studied with Official Guide verbal as well. My verbal score went from 28 to 37. Comparing to people's scores here, 37 isn't much but to me it really helped. Oh, don't forget to practice with SC 1000.
