Hi all,

I just took the free MGMAT test and this is the first time I have given a gmat exam. I scored 590. I have three months before my exam date. I need assistance regarding the books to purchase.

I have already purchased OG 12th edition. For a strategy guide,I am thinking of purchasing Kaplan Premier 2010.

I scored very less in Verbal in practise tests. So I am thinking of investing in two more books.

1. Manhattan sentence correction guide
2. Powerscore Gmat CR bible

So will the above mentioned books (OG 12 , Kaplan , MGMAT SC , CR Bible) be sufficient or am I investing too much for a period of 3 months. Or should I try with Kaplan and if I have problems with Verbal still, then may be I can go for MGMAT SC and CR Bible.

Please help.

This post from last week seemed really helpful and thorough: https://www.beatthegmat.com/manhattan-or ... 62524.html

Obviously you probably need the OG series too.

"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."
