Study Advice Please!

by nstp0316 » Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:27 am
Hello,

I am planning on taking the GMAT in mid September. I was going to study on my own but I raelized I lacked the basic skills to do so.I have done 10 hours with a Princeton Review Master Tutor and I feel as if I have learned alot. Now I would like to do a self study until about Mid-End August. Then I am going to finish out 8 more hours with my tutor.

Can anyone reccomend any good review books? I have heard good things about Manhattan books, I own the 13th OG and The Princeton Review books curently, I would just like some other study material so I do not repeat The Princeton Review books more than once or twice.

Also, I currently am scoring around 450 and I would like to acheive 550+

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

For math, the Manhattan GMAT guides are the ones I recommend and use for students aiming at intermediate scores. They are very detailed. Once you buy a MGMAT book, it will give you access to their 6 CAT exams.

Have you solved the Princeton Review books with 1037 problems for GMAT and 1014 problems for GRE? They are excellent collection of problems and of all prep company problem collections, resemble the style of the original exam problems most. You should know that they have typos (like every 15th problem I would say). The solutions in the books are also not so great because they always plug in numbers, even if the problem can be easily solved with a little algebra.

I don't tutor verbal but my students tell me Veritas books are better in that area than Manhattan.
