MGMAT vs. GMAT Hacks

by dombarb » Wed Aug 12, 2009 5:44 pm
I haven't gotten any feedback on this forum on my questions so I'll try again. Maybe this subject might be of greater interest? I haven't been able to find a thread or post comparing GMAT Hacks to MGMAT.

So I scored a 36 on the Quant portion this past Saturday. I opted to study with Jeff Sackmann's GMAT Hacks books rather than MGMAT because I felt that the latter packed so much material in its guides it became overwhelming to absorb let alone remember anything.

Although I'm still skeptical of MGMAT on quant, I think I might give it a chance seeing as I didn't do so hot using GMAT Hacks.

Does anyone have any experience using the two respective guides, and if so, which one would you recommend and why? How should I study with MGMAT? I remember taking two weeks to get through MGMAT's Number Properties Guide alone.

What I like about GMAT Hacks is that the concepts/topics are presented in very very short chapters. Compared to MGMAT, it's like taking small, reasonable bites vs. having an entire plate of food rammed down your throat.

Thanks in advance for any help/insight you guys could offer.
