I have a question about the Manhattan books. I have finished the Princeton Review book, and I am one section shy of completing the Kaplan text. I have flipped through the OG and it is basically a practice book rather than a strategy tool.

Therefore, I am thinking about buying three books from the Manhattan series: percentages, number properties, and word problem translation. I woud like to know if these texts, or Manhattan books in general, contain any useful strategy that is not contained in the Kaplan and PR books. I know that MGMAT does not contain a lot of practice, which I do not care about. All I care about is strategy and shortcuts.

Thank you.

I have only used the SC book, but it was mostly strategy with some practice problems. The books contain pointers to the OG11 for real questions to work with, but the SC book mainly contained strategy discussions. If that book is any indication, the MGMAT books may be exactly what you're looking for.

I found the first chapter or 2 useful, but the rest wasnt. I would only recommend it if you can get it used for really cheap.

That comment was in reference to the Number Properties Guide.

Big improvement! How do you manage that?
