I ordered the Manhattan Prep GMAT course last fall. After attending all the online courses, but never being able to do the online portion due to work demands, I finally decided to switch gears and do the EA instead.
I've got all these books, and I'd had to waste them. Looking to use them to prep for the EA, as the tests are very similar.

Any advice on what to pick out of the GMAT books to prep for the EA test?
Would it be better to just abandon these books and find something specific to the EA instead, even if it costs extra?
May I know which course did you involve yourself at ManhattanPrep?

I think that Manhattan Prep is selling GMAT prep materials as EA prep materials because they are too lazy to invest in creating actual EA materials.
The EA does not have complex math. I got their starter pack for the EA, and the third question required trig.
There's nothing about that that helps simulate test taking conditions for the EA where those kinds of questions are not going to pop up. So it doesn't help you at all to learn the pacing and approach to the different kinds of questions and how to move through them if they are using a GMAT exam instead.

If they think it's "so similar" then isn't it THEIR responsibility to prepare preparation materials that are ACTUALLY like the EA exam? Instead of just trying to make money by re-labelling GMAT prep as EA prep material?
