Dear All. I am in a big conundrum here. I am in between jobs as I just relocated and I want to use this time to prepare for my GMAT. I plan to go back to school for my MBA hopefully and also hope to pivot my career as a whole.
I have purchased the Official GMAC guides (all three of them). I have also purchased 6 Versitas CAT tests. Finally i was hoping to get some GMAT classes but after attending a refresher session I realized its not for me and I much rather self study during this period.
I have read good things about the MGMAT books. I plan to purchase the 6th edition but am concerned it wont match the OG GMAT 2018.
Verbal is my strong suite I feel and I need big improvements in quant. I have also been looking at Magoosh and wondering if it would be better than self studying just through MGMAT.
I am lacking confidence. I am one of those who is worried about taking a practice test and realizing the herculean task ahead of me. My target score is 650 and and when i took a Princeton CAT few months ago cold, i just touched 500.
I need to build up both endurance and trust. I feel my brain gets exhausted pretty quickly and hence i want to time my self study in the hopes of getting my university endurance back.
Any help will be appreciated. Best regards.

Welcome to Gmatclub!! All the very best for your dream to get to
B school.
to cement the theory taught. OG Qs are virtually a mirror of what you will see most likely in actual GMAT exam
since these are retarded GMAT prep Qs.
What is the basis of your intuition? Have you given any of free mocks on https://www.mba.com to test real waters?
You can also find reviews of Magoosh and other courses here
Almost all of them offer a 5-7 day free trial for you to get accustomed to their course. Take full opportunity of this and make a
wise decision.
On an average, a students scoring 700+ takes an average of 120 hours for self-prep. But again this is just
an average, Since you have veritas mocks and manhattan books, It shall be ideal to keep pacing yourself with '
these mocks to know if you are able to apply correctly what you learnt, particularly for timing and strategy aspects.
Hope this helps!!

It is correct observation. MGMAT books are well known for its content (read theory) and a couple of practice Qs
to cement the theory taught. OG Qs are virtually a mirror of what you will see most likely in actual GMAT exam

As I mentioned before, rely more on official tests towards start and end of your prep to get taste of real waters.

Hi,
Welcome to gmatclub. I was in same dilemma once like you are right now. I purchased the MGAMT 4th edition (second hand) from Amazon.com. After going through the books I found that only Sentence Correction book was most useful for me as English was my weakness. I bought Power Score Bible for Critical Reasoning, and it is the best book for critical reasoning in my opinion. Solve 2-3 Reading Comprehension from gmatclub everyday.
For math, you can study theory from anywhere (MGMAT, eGMAT, magoosh etc.) but I'll suggest, solve questions from gmatclub forum only.
The best part about this forum is, people discuss the problem and you'll get to know different methods and tricks to solve a problem.
Once you are through with math practice questions, I'll suggest solve OG latest edition a few days before main exam (start solving OG a month before exam). Solving OG will help you the most.
I did not solve OG chapter wise, I solved it in one shot 15 days before exam.
For mock, make sure you download the free software from mba.com and at least solve the 2 free tests before main exam. Gmatclub tests are good too.
Below links have topic and difficulty wise questions, I hope these links can be useful:
