I know that the Manhattan 10 Strategy Guide is comprehensive, but there are Fundamental of Math, Fundamental of Verbal and Advanced Quant.

I own the Sentence Correction volume 8, and I see that Fundamental of Verbal covers Sentence Correction, Reading Comprehensive and Critical Reasoning; the Fundamental of Math and Advanced Quant should cover everything. What are the differences between these supplements and the Strategy Guide?

Also, I have the OG 2016, should I get OG 2018?

I have previously taken GMAT in August and got 500, but I am aiming for 700+, and hopefully get a high score on Quant. I went through the OG and know the basic structure of the exam, and basic knowledge of both quant and verbal, but I need a clear list of things (and the details) I should know for the GMAT.

Targeting 700+ and most recent score is 500 (taken in lat August)

Hi

What are the differences between these supplements and the Strategy Guide? \

Manhattan GMAT Foundation of GMAT Math is a basic math book contains only the initial starting level basic math concepts, beneficial for those from non math background or whose math concepts become Rusty

Manhattan GMAT Advanced Quant is covering advance concepts of math tested on the GMAT and beneficial for those who have studied 5 Manhattan MATH Guides and students who want Q50 Q51 score on Quant.

I have the OG 2016, should I get OG 2018?

You dont have need to buy OG 18 rather you can do practice of New and unique questions of OG 18 at GMAT Club

Good Luck

Hi panyu2,

You should study for around three months to achieve a good score. It's a good thing you have taken the GMAT once. You now know your weaknesses and work on them. If you are willing to study dedicatedly for that period, you are sure to achieve your goal. I believe you may benefit from taking a GMATPREP course.

Your choice of using MGMAT guides for your preparation is great. MGMAT guides are phenomenal and cover the entire syllabus really well. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will
not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.

Also for verbal, I would highly encourage you to consider e-gmat verbal online or the e-gmat verbal live course. They are both amazing courses especially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in both the courses is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market.

Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have a good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.

Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.

I would also encourage you to purchase the latest version of OG and the verbal review and GMATPREP QP1 for some great additional practice. Here is a link that will help you with your decision.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/best-gmat-ve ... 68383.html

Lastly, you can check out a very interesting article by Mike McGarry from Magoosh detailing a 3 month study plan

https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-g ... -students/. You will find it very helpful as it gives out a study plan as per your needs.

Hope this helps. All the best.
