Hi Everyone!

I can get the following books to do some practice, but I would like use the best one. Could anyone recommend which are the best ones?

- McGraw Hill - GMAT 2008 Ed by James Hasilk
- CliffsTestPrep: GMAT CAT 8th edition by Jerry Bobrow
- NOVA's GMAT Prep Course By Jeff Kolby
- Thomson Peterson's: Master The GMAT by Thomas Martinson (2007)
- Thomson Peterson's: Ultimate GMAT Toolkit by Mark Alan Stewart

Just in case I'm in the way of finishing MGMAT, PowerScore and some Kaplan books.

Cheers,
Augusto

Sorry have never heard about any of them. But in my IMHO you really dont need any more books. OG, MGMAT and Kaplan are more than enough material for GMAT and it isnt like each book has something completely different to offer you, they all are pretty much the same.

I agree with gabriel; I've only personally used the OG books (I'd also recommend the OG quant and verbal review books if you're looking for more practice problems and haven't worked through those yet), and found that's all I really needed to do well on the exam.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Upz I forgot to say that I´m also half way through the OG Books.

And thanks for your replies! I'm just checking because I'm trying to get more high quality practice material.

"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."
