Hello Everyone,
I am thinking to buy a complete set: 8 Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides 2007 Ed.. In this forum, for most people the Manhattan Sentence Correction was good, but I never read that someone talk about other Manhattan books. Thus, please help me and let me know which other Manhattan books you have found helpful.

Please keep in mind that I have already bought the Princeton review ,Kaplan (did not find them helpful to me), and OG 11. Moreover, I already took GMAT two times and my highest score was 460 and my target score is around 580. Since I am very weak in critical reasoning and reading comprehensive, my strategy is to get higher point in the areas that I already doing okay such as PS, DS, and SC. Please Help me. Thanks!

I don't have experience using the MGMAT materials myself (although I wish I had at least the SC book during my prep, in hindsight). If you do some searching in the Strategy forum as well as the Ask Manhattan GMAT forum, I think you will find some discussion on the other books from several months ago.

Best of luck!

The Manhattan GMAT books are awesome! I've used them to study and they are great at "dumbing" it down and they have great suggestions on pretty much every topic!! Definitely a great and must buy! Laughing

I wouldn't completely ignore RC and CR. Work on those as well, because those skills will come in handy as you pursue your MBA. Critical reasoning skills are important in a business career!
