Data Sufficiency Books

Hi there,

Are there any good books out there for DS? I've looked around, but I can't seem to find any!

Thanks,
MH

CANS what do you think? I don't think there are any separate books for DS.
My point is understand the basics well, and practice with OG12 and Quants edition of the GMAC. :)

I have not referred any books on DS so far.
But i guess manhattan quant review will be good.
and as Sivaelectric said, practice with OG12 and you can try BTG forums :)

If I were you this is hwo I would do it

1) OG 12 ,OG 11, OG 10
each strategy
each question
different way
Concept for each
before analysing answer know the trick being tested

2) BTG posts - DS

3) NOVAS stragey for DS

4) MGMAT - DS problems

5) each test that I write concept on each DS

6) Kaplan tests for DS


This should be more than enough
if your still not able to crack it then analyse what your doing wrong

OG should crac atleast 60% of it

Venmic, I would not suggest all the OGs. In my opinion OG12 would be fine. There are a lot of repeated questions from OG11 in OG12. Check out this link.

and how good is this book because I have not tried it before
NOVAS stragey for DS

1. MGMAT Equations, Inequalities, and VICs
2. MGMAT Number properties

are both pretty good.

MGMAT AND BTGforums are the best resource
