Data Sufficiency

by Codebreaker2k » Wed Dec 12, 2012 9:24 am
I was initially having a hard time with sentence correction but after reading many reviews from this board it seemed as though many 700+ people used Grail's sentence correction 3rd edition. I have been using this book for the last few days and it is wonderful. The next area I wanted to focus on was data sufficiency. Is there a recommended book that is both simple, but provides useful assistance for those looking for the 700+ scores? Any feedback would be helpful.

Thanks!

This is a bit different than SC, in that you need a comprehensive understanding of all of math. So really what you need is a good math book to understand the principles.

Some people like M GMAT, but I like to use the guide from GMAT Prepster.

It seems like gmat prepster has a few books. Do you happen to have the name and ISBN number? Anyone else have any other recommended books which helped them score a 700+ on their exam? What about study strategy for data sufficiency? Any information is always helpful and greatly appciated.
