I just started studying for the gmat and im wondering which route to take when it comes to purchasing gmat books. right now these are my two options: buy the books suggested by the 3 month study guide on BTG, or an 8 book set from manhattan on amazon.com that covers mostly concept review. with the latter option i figured i would go ahead and buy the three OG bolos for practice problems. What do you guys think? any suggestions?
thanks!

If I were you, I would get MGMAT math guides + SC+ their recently published math guide for OG. Then I would get Power Score CR and OG 12 + two suplemental guides that GMAC publishes for extra practice (optional).

I think the above advice is pretty sound. However, keep in mind that some of the Manhattan books are pretty dense so you'll probably need to look over them more than one time. I'm in the process of going through Veritas books and they seem to be a little less complete, but also less dense.

"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."
