Hi
I tried Barrons, though not much, but I won't recommend it to anybody. There are better and more acclaimed books available in the market than those of Baron's: OG11, OG supplementary guides, MGMAT and Kaplan.

Try them!

Regards

Thanks for the reply , I have already done Princeton and Kaplan and have just started the OG 11, But i am am not sure of the difficulty level i breeze through the first 75 q in quant let see hope it gets tougher,

Is MGMAT Worth the extra dough, what About ARCO'S AND PETERSONS.

It's good that you can breeze through the 1st 75 Qs of OG 11. Keep on doing them, afterall they appeared at one point or another in the actual test.
I have been following MGMAT and there books are good. I don't know about the other two but yes, I've purchased the ARCO Essay book to better on my AWA.

Of Barron, Arco and Peterson, the only book that is frequently mentioned and discussed is the Arco essay book. There's a reason the other books are not discussed: they aren't that great.

Thanks for the info guys i think i am going to start concentrating all mytime on OG 11 until i have all the questions done in each section and then start taking practice tests from the prep software and Kaplan.

Only concern is timing on questions and i need to start working on that in the next week or so.
Wish me luck
