Hi everybody!
Today, I took out from the boxes all books that i have for gmat. What i have is as below:
1. manhattan gmat prep books( 8 + 2 additional)
2. gmat premier; everything you need to score higher 2012 (kaplan)
3.1012 gmat practice questions ( the Princeton Review)
4.gmat course book (kaplan)
5. gmat verbal review 2nd edition -the official guide
6. gmat cracking the gmat 2009 edition
all this books belong to my friend. He got 740 6-7 months ago. he suggested me to start with 1012 gmat practice questions ( the Princeton Review). So i started today and came to conclusion that i don't remember too much from my college. since that book is just practice, i thought, maybe for me is going to be useful and more productive if i study the theory and do the practice simultaneously.(i need to review what i have learned in college, i have more than 4 years from the graduation)
For this reason my question is very simple; with what book should i start?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Seagull88,
You certainly have a lot of books to choose from. Before you get started, it's important to note some things and define your own goals. You and your friend are different people, so you can't go into this process assuming that what worked well for him will work well for you.
1) What is your score goal?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) How much time have you set aside to study for the GMAT?
To help you set your own expectations, you should know that most Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on their studies; during that time, it's common to spend 10-15 hours per week (or more) on the process.
Sometime fairly soon (in the next week or so), you should plan to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT. By taking that Test, you can establish a 'baseline' score and get a defined sense of your strengths and weaknesses. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take the entire CAT in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here.
