If you’re looking for resources to build foundational knowledge in GMAT Verbal and GMAT Quant, Manhattan Prep’s "GMAT Foundations on Verbal" and "GMAT Foundations of Math" are decent books to begin with.
I believe these resources (or some classes focusing these topics) are available for free on Manhattan Prep’s website.

I don’t think you have checked. There are many ways to find questions by topic. I suggest following the instructions in spending a few minutes.

There are drop-down filters in each sub forum and topics like that pinned at the top of each sub forum. gmat-ps-question-directory-by-topic-difficulty-127957.html

Does everyone struggle to get started and focus on preparing for the GMAT in the beginning? Having huge issues determining a constant flow.

Do you mean that you struggle to get into a constant study routine?

Hi All... I have a question...

What does score valid for 5 years mean? Can I apply to different schools for 5 years?

For example... Say I apply for school 1 this year and get rejected...can I apply for school 2 next year with same score?

You can use the score and send it for up to 5 years since you took the test. So you can take GMAT while you are in college and then apply to business school three or four years later

They are here: major-changes-for-gmat-in-2023-gmat-focus-edition-what-we-know-408213.html

😇😂 it is a big topic. We are still figuring it out since note of information is out and the test will not be available until the end of this year so it’s a bit premature to make the final judgment

No, you cannot. I highly recommend that you use legal resources without robbing authors of their pay for the hard work. The reason people wrote this books is to make a living. If we steal them and Rob them of compensation, little discourage further development of GMAT resources.

we do not allow book PDFs on gmat club. Thank you for your cooperation.

Agreed. Thank you for clarifying.
So I am unable to find the latest version of the Manhattan Quant books . The latest I see are that of 2014-15 edition on eCommerce websites. Is it fine to go ahead with those?
I have just started out and a little clueless.

Hi. Yes. Those will work just fine and frankly I prefer the older addition to the latest one. The latest addition move some of the chapters and topics online and it’s a bit tricky to find.

The older edition has all material together in one place. Nothing really has changed since so there is no outdated information in the edition.
