GMAT Quant Preparation

Question

Hey guys!

I need your advice for my further GMAT preparation. I already finished the following books:
  Manhattan Prep Foundations of Math
Manhattan Prep All the Quant

I could understand all the principles and strategies very well. However, right now I am at a point where I am sitting in front of some math problems and don't know where to start. To me, the Manhattan Books explained all the things very well but at some point, they were not "deep enough". I feel that some topics such as mixture problems, DS concepts, or consecutive numbers were not covered sufficiently.

Now the question to you guys, how would you proceed? The jump to the Advanced Quant Manhattan Book would be too extreme since I am most aiming for a score of around 650. What other books can you recommend that go more in depth?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Phhaes.

One alternative to a book that would explain those question types more deeply might be a good online course. You could subscribe to an online course for a month and get more instruction and a lot of practice.

Hi Phhaes,

Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so depending on the amount of study time that you have put in so far, you might simply need more repetitions in some of these areas to build up the 'familiarity' that you are looking for. You might also find it helpful to work through some of those questions types using the prompts in the GMATClub forums (and read through some of the approaches/explanations for guidance.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) Have you used any other study materials besides the books that you listed? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
