Hi All, I have the 8 book set of the Manhattan GMAT books. At present, I need to improve my quant the most. Out of the 5 quant books provided in the set, could you tell me which books to focus on the most? As I don't believe I'll have enough time to go through all of them. I am under the impression from reading these forums that the

- Number Properties
- Word Translations

books are the most important. Could you please advise which quant book I should master after that? Perhaps the Geometry strategy guide, or something else?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!!!

They are all pretty important, I would say geometry or algebra.

I agree with Jim; they are all definitely important.

However, if it's not possible for you to work on all of them, try pinpointing your strengths and weaknesses. Have you taken a MGMAT diagnostic test? If you're already strong in one area, you could skip that particular book or spend less time with it.

You might want to take a free official practice test: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx

If you are significantly far away from your target score, you may need to reschedule your test for a later date.

Cheers,

"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."
