So I just took my first gmatprep diagnostic. I haven't started any studying yet, so I took it to see my strengths/weaknesses/where to start/where to focus.
I scored a 730, 96th percentile
Quant 49/60, 85th percentile
Verbal 40/60, 89th percentile
Integrated Reasoning 8
I unfortunately exited out of the exam before reviewing questions, so I don't know what I got right/wrong. After a bit of research, this appears to be an issue with the newest software. Has anyone figured out a way to see the breakdown? Is the only way to quickly retake the quant and verbal sections?
Second, I read up a bit on recommended GMAT books/study aids and I'm likely going with
Manhattan GMAT. From the Best GMAT Books 2012 thread, I see:
General Strategy Books: 8 MGMAT Guides + come with 6 online tests
Quant Books: MGMAT Math Foundations, MGMAT Advanced Quant
Verbal Books: MGMAT Verbal Foundations
Are these all separate books? Would the Quant and Verbal specific books cover anything not in the 8 base
MGMAT Guides? Planning to order today or tomorrow on amazon prime and start preparing early next week.
Thanks so much for the help.
