Yes, I know people who used only PowerPrepp and OG and got 740. It's possible but again, it depends on your innate skills.

Thanks Paul. I was wondering that if one does not have the OG book can he/she still pass?

Hi,

It is certainly possible to get a high score without OG but I would not consider this to be a needlessly suboptimal practice.

It depends what you mean by "pass". There are some geniuses (like Akhamai from this board :) ) who got 740+ after only 2 weeks of studying and I don't even think they touched OG. However, for the common being, the OG is like a bible that I would especially not overlook. If your target score is in 600s then yes, it is definitely possible to "pass" without the OG. However, to "pass" to the 700+, I would not do without the OG.
