The ARCO GRE/GMAT Math Review is okay. The table of contents (and the book's general organisation) is not ideal, but it is filled with good problems.

It's NOT as good a book (IMO) as the Kaplan GMAT MATH WORKBOOK, 5th Ed. (which is all but identical to the Kaplan GMAT GRE Math Workbook, 4th Ed.).

As for a study plan, try to do 2-3 hours, 3 - 4 day per week. Do lots of new problems and do lots of reviewing of old problems.

And poke around this website a bunch. There's a lot of great first hand reports of what has worked for people as well as what hasn't.

Good luck.

I am hoping on not to spend too much on the arco's book. After I finish arco's and pr start doing problems in the OG guide.

OG has so many questions , whats the best way to do the questions(cann't do all of them).

Should I take a gmatprep exam to see how I do in the test and my strength and weekness.

Hi,

If possible , could you kindly mail me the softcopy of Arco's or alternately guide me to a softcopy link for the same.

Would really appreciate.

Many Thanks,
Girish.

"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."
