Hi everyone,
I have been reading all possible threads regarding which books I should work with. The problem is that, there are so many options that you get lost and don't know which one to go with. I do not want to study the same topic from multiple sources - this is against style, and I get confused when I follow more than one for a specific topic. So, I want to assign one study book for each topic of Verbal and Quant part. Finally, I thought I decided that for quantitative part I am going to rely on MGMAT books. However, now the problem is that, there is MGMAT complete set (10 books - most of which cover quantitative topics), MGMAT Math Foundations, and MGMAT Advanced Quant. This is the part where I gave up, and decided to write and ask. So, what is the difference between those three alternatives above? Do I need to have all three sources, or are the substitute to one another? If so, then which one is the best?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Good question, you DO NOT need the three resources. The MGMAT Math Foundations is useful if your math basics (solving for variables, exponents, divisibility, etc...) are extremely rusty, and even if they are, these topics are all covered in detail in different books from the complete set.
The MGMAT Advanced Quant is supposed to be for people with high quant skills who do not need to go through the basic stuff all over again. I personally think this book was a waste of time, it goes way beyond what is covered on the actual GMAT, even at Q50, Q51 levels. If you read debriefs from people who used this book, most of them will agree that this book is not necessary.
So, if you get the MGMAT complete set you are good to go! Specially for quant... good luck!

pitzzz, an answer to my question couldn't be more explanatory! You made it simple and clear. Thanks a lot...
Do you have a suggestion to cover verbal? According to my research in this forum I kind of decided to go with MGMAT + Doing Gramar by Morenberg (I am not native speaker). In addition to these two I may follow Powerscore CR Bible for CR. While I didn't decide yet, I am also thinking about GRE Prep for RC from Princeton Review for Reading Comprehension. How do you find them?
