GMAT Strategy

Hi Experts,

I've started preparing for the GMAT using the Official guide 13th edition (+ verbal and Math review).
I'm also using the GMATprepnow video's, that are really helpful with ticks, elimination strategies and so on...
As you may know, the answers in the official guide are not helpful, complicated, and based on algebric methods in some questions where common sens and logic may answer the question quickly.

I'm looking for a helpful books with ticks and quick way to answer the GMAT questions. Do you know any helpful books please? (i spend already 2months working on those unhelpful books; help please!)

Thank you for your help,
Houda

1) Official Guiding is the Guiding source of material so I suggest that don't ignore that in search of some other source of material.

2) GMAT Quant doesn't require too many shortcuts and Quick strategies so usually students are suggested to learn the traditional methods and develop their own shortcut methods.

3) In some cases you might find some really impressive methods of solving questions and Beat the GMAT is the best place to find them. Just keep posting the questions.

Remember there can be many ways of solving any question but you need only one to strike your mind while taking test.

All the best!!!

Thank you for your replies...i'm not saying that i will ignore the OG 13th but, i need additional books, for strategies, short cuts etc... For the Math section! some short cuts help you to find the answer in 30secondes so we need to know and practice them...
Ohhh yes! beat the GMAT is very helpful, but reading thousands pots may be time consuming... ((

Thank you in advance for other suggestions!

Hello Houd,
It seems that we are following the same GMAT preparation journey (60 days study guide) and that we're both seeking for the same answer.
I've actually posted a request identical to yours few days ago in this forum but unfortunately didn't get a satisfying response.
I completely agree with you. GMATprep videos are EXCELLENT! But Answers in the OG13 and OG Math review are not adapted to someone who's aiming to beat the GMAT(more than 700).
I have done some internet researches and found the following book => The Official Guide Companion, 13th ed. of Manhattan (https://www.manhattangmat.com/storeitems ... itemID=674).
This book has to be used in conjunction with the OG13. But, I'm not sure of its usefulness....
So Experts, Houd and I are looking forward to receive your advices :
Is the offical guide companion book useful. Otherwise please indicate us any other useful resource.
Thanks in advance for allowing us to save VALUABLE time in our preparation.
