I am new to this forum. I am just beginner for GMAT preparation. Being a beginner I was in process of finalizing study material. I've gone through so many posts on this forum eventually I got a bit confused about the same :? . I've 4-5 months for preparation. I want a kind of book in which both, tutorials & exercises are available. Please suggest me the books at this level and of that kind.

Best Regards

Welcome to the gmatclub manishsrms !

Just go this link nink-s-guide-on-how-to-navigate-through-gmatclub-for-newbies-76938.html?view-post=579645#p579645

Also, I'll not suggest you to start with OG12! You should go through basics of Math and Verbal before touching official material.

Link shared by dokiyoki above is good enough to select books.

I think the MGMAT guides are great. They do a good job of covering the fundamentals.

Yes, take one CAT from gmatprep or any other free available CATs to access yourself and then you can decide accordingly on your study plans!

MGMAT guides are best place to start with. They teach all the basic concepts. I am already using it for Quants and there is improvement in my quants.
Along with it OG12 is also needed.

hi Frinds,

I've decided to start my preparation with MGMAT guides. As I need to study the basic concepts as well. That's why I think that would be a good start. I'll also be an actie member of this forum to discuss some issues & concerns if any.

Thanks for your kind suggestion.

Best Regards
Maneesh
