It appears to me that these are the top books for word problems.

Please let me know which one I should purchase!

I second Osirus on this, MGMAT is a really good source when it comes to GMAT Math

I do agree with ajith and osirus.
Most of the time I have seen that people get their solutions wrong just because they were unable to frame the equations properly.
So,like even if your concepts are correct ,your score can go down due to wrong interpretation.
"Word Translations" helps you to identify those mistakes.
In this forum also,I have seen many-a-time people getting confused with the wording of the problem and calculating the wrong problem.Also,GMAT takes this as a trap and you will also find the alternative answer choice among the 5 options leading you to pick the wrong option.

Also,I liked the "Geometry" guide by MGMAT.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
