I'm Back...2nd crack...

by DCS80 » Tue Dec 04, 2012 7:44 am
Hey all,

Was going to go through this whole shindig last year, but lost motivation. I'm back with a vengeance now, and looking to kick some ass in late March.

I have OG12, Quant review compliment, and access to this forum and another. what else should i get?

are the manhatten books staples, or rather superfluous especially since i'm a native english speaker?

looking forward to feedback!

Thanks, Brent-

Any particular resources I'd need for this approach?

You will need the OG13 (which gives you access to Integrated Reasoning practice questions), and you will need to either the GMAT Prep Now video course or the complete set of Manhattan GMAT books.

Best of luck with the GMAT "butt-kicking" :-)

Brent

hi! can you confirm this would be a sufficient set to purchase?

would this coincide with both OG12 and 13? I do not mind purchasing 13 as I have 12 as well, but to best create a studying ecosystem i figured i would ask..

You'll need the 5th edition MGMAT books if you want to follow the 60-Day Study Guide (since each day's activities are assigned from the 5th edition books).
Similarly, the Study Guide assigns practice questions from the OG13. Sorry.

Cheers,
Brent

thanks a bunch

in an attempt to not be overwhelmed with the Manhatten collection, does it come with a prudent study guide for a 3 month period, or roughly speaking, that span of time?

I don't know whether MGMAT has a 3-month(ish) plan. You might need to ask a MGMAT rep about that.
