good book for Quant

Hi,
Any suggestion for a good book for Quant. I have solved most of the problems in the OG. My GMAT is on 27 Aug.
Thanks

OG needs to be your bible, but under stress, you might find you might perform differently.

You have time (which is great) so I'd recommend the following (for starters).

> Do 3 diagnostic tests (paper GMAT) and isolate your strengths and weaknesses
> Sign up for a subscription online course (we have one for clients and friends) that has MANY questions and allows you to bank your questions. Make sure they are GREAT quality and don't just give you busy work...
> Practice - - and make sure you understand WHY this math is important...it's all a metphor of how you'd be as a business person, more than testing your on basic math (ok, they test you on SOME basic math).

Finally: be sure you're psychologically prepared for the test - - that you feel prepped and primed to perform your best. Zero anxiety. Zero Stress.

Good Luck!

I really like MGMAT Math Foundations for a good review of the basic GMAT math. For deeper understanding of the OG questions, I would go with MGMAT:s guide companion. More advanced explanations to the questions and various answer techniques - really useful.
