The ARCO GRE/GMAT Math Review is okay. The table of contents (and the book's general organisation) is not ideal, but it is filled with good problems.

It's NOT as good a book (IMO) as the Kaplan GMAT MATH WORKBOOK, 5th Ed. (which is all but identical to the Kaplan GMAT GRE Math Workbook, 4th Ed.).

As for a study plan, try to do 2-3 hours, 3 - 4 day per week. Do lots of new problems and do lots of reviewing of old problems.

And poke around this website a bunch. There's a lot of great first hand reports of what has worked for people as well as what hasn't.

Good luck.

I am hoping on not to spend too much on the arco's book. After I finish arco's and pr start doing problems in the OG guide.

OG has so many questions , whats the best way to do the questions(cann't do all of them).

Should I take a gmatprep exam to see how I do in the test and my strength and weekness.

Hi,

If possible , could you kindly mail me the softcopy of Arco's or alternately guide me to a softcopy link for the same.

Would really appreciate.

Many Thanks,
Girish.
