Hi: I am scoring high and finding OG problems too easy. I already have the Kaplan GMAT 800 book with me. I want to practice tough math problems, the kind that occurs in MGMAT CAT tests.

Which one should I buy first, the question banks or the challenge problem archive from Manhattan? If anyone has used them, can you kindly tell me your opinion on these..

Are there any other material for 700+ type math problems?

The Kaplan book is good, but unfortunately you will not find that many practice questions there. The MGMAT archive might serve you better.

The Challenge archive is overkill for most people - and I say that knowingly since I work for the company! At least half of the problems are what we call "900 level" problems, which means they are harder than anything you'd actually see on the test. The question banks have a mix of easier and harder problems but they are mostly within the realm of what you might see on the test (though, even there, there are a few that are a bit much).
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!
