Welcome to the forum. A very important aspect of GMAT prep is to know where you are with respect to your target score and how much effort is needed and in what area. I suggest you take a prep tes, preferably GMAT prep and see where you are.

Regarding material, OG is definite must. You could use additional books and also tons of free resources on this forum.

The PR book is awesome. That's what I started with. It will give you a solid foundation. OG 11 would be better than OG 10, but you should be ok if you can't find it.

There are some great threads on this site with study strategies, just explore a bit.

I agree PR is great to begin with. It depends on your target score. Kaplan, PR etc. are designed for the average and that is get you around 600. But I'll be honest it didn't help me. I got the most so far out of MGMAT guides not only in SC but in Quant as well. The break it down allowing you to take topic by topic approach that helps identify your weakness while doing OG 11.

"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."
