Hi greatman:

Welcome to the Beat The GMAT Community!

It sounds like you are at the beginning of your GMAT preparation--you have the luxury of having a few months to prep before your March test.

The first thing you should do is form a study strategy. I encourage you to visit my Beat The GMAT! Blog (https://beatthegmat.blocked) to get a sense of what one effective study strategy can look like. This strategy worked for me, but it may need to be taylored around your skills.

I would also encourage you to take a GMATPrep test (you said you used PowerPrep?), to get a sense of how you would perform on the GMAT right now. You can download GMATPrep from MBA.com.

During your preparation, I encourage you to be an active member of this GMAT community. It's a great way for you to learn from others and teach (another form of learning), as well as to stay accountable and interested in your studies.

Best of luck!

I think Barrons is good for GRE, but not GMAT.

For GMAT, stick to official materials as you have, plus GMATPrep as Eric said, and get Cracking the GMAT instead of Barrons. The tests and tips are better in my experience.

Manhattan GMAT SC Guide is considered the Bible of SC prep--if you are weak in this area, I highly recommend that you purchase this book.

Avoid the Barron's book

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
