Looks like a few books doing well including MGMAT Math Foundatiosn and MGMAT RC; a bit surprised Kaplan 800 is on the rise (not a bad book but it gets bashed a lot). Also looks like Kaplan Verbal Foundations are back on the map.

Interesting month :)

Re: Top 20 Best GMAT Books on GMAT Club [#permalink]
Hi all,

This is my first post in gmat club..quite amazed by the number of people on this forum..im looking to take up the gmat in april 2011..with regards to the books mentioned above..i just have some doubts here..on some other forum i came across the Powerscore CR bible as the best option over other Verbal related books..but here the ranking seems to different..is it because people havnt been able to get thier hands on Powerscore or is it because of something else?

For CR, PowerScore CR is the best (close second is the MGMAT CR) and Veritas also has a good CR book now too.
So, yes PowerScore CR is the best but it does not compare to the OG 12.

The MGMAT guides refer to questions in OG and OG verbal/quant review for each topic. Powerscore CR doesnt do that. However, from the reviews I read here and in amazon.com, this book is more recommended than MGMAT CR.
