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,
