hi Guys,

Been wanting to ramp up my quant scores which hover around 47-50 depending on whose test i take.

Ive heard really good things about Nova for advanced Quant practice. Does anyone have similar views?

Worth the money?

No idea dude..I've not used NOVA guide books

My quant score also in the same raange as yours. If it can help to take the quant score to 51, I'll definitely try it.

thanks clubgmatuser,

the only thing is there dont seem to be a lot of recommendations for the NOVA book anywhere. i just have only the one recommendation from a friend who scored really well on his exam.

If you're already at 47/48 in quant and want to improve to 50/51 , i'd suggest you buy the gmatclub tests . They have really good quant questions . Also Jeff Sackman's Total GMAT Math book would also give you really advanced questions in quant.

Some (such as bb) consider Nova a decent product, though the majority of test takers do just fine with other guidebooks. For me, there isn't enough recommendations for Nova.

If you want practice material, then go for the GMATClub tests and Sackmann's Extreme Challenge set (as georgepaul0071987 suggested). At your level, purchasing another guidebook just for practice is not advised. Continue to use whatever books you have. Rely on an error log and review the pertinent sections.

To go from your current level to 51, a great deal relies on fine-tuning and timing. Also, observe your stamina level toward the end of the math section.

thanks bmillan.

the only issue i have with jeff sackmann's extreme challenge is that they are pretty expensive. better to stick to gmat club tests then.
