Hey Guys,
I'm new to the forums and just wanted to open this thread up for others to talk about strategy and to lend suggestions. I have 2 review books. The

Kaplan Review and the Official Guide produced by the GMAC. I also just purchased the Kaplan "GMAT in a Box" flash cards. I don't plan on using a tutor

or a traditional review course. Strictly plan to study on my own, whilst consulting the forums of course! How many review books did you guys need for your

prep? I plan to take the GMAT 2 months from now. I have a pretty sweet schedule working 22 hours a week with ample time to study in between shifts.

Thanks for the open ear and suggestions!

- Pete

Your tool kit must include the following.

Quant:
OG is ok.
You can get additional questions like BTG practice questions or Grockit access. grockit is better for quant. You can play games n learn.
If you have any quant weaknesses, MGMAT guides should help.

Verbal:
SC: Mgmat SC.
CR: Powerscore CR Bible.
RC: Practice lots. RC 99 should help.
OG for all is mandatory, especially for SC. Each question will teach u a GMAT concept. Take that learning from each question.

Practice tests:
2 GMAT Prep questions plus MGMAT / Princeton or Veritas tests. Analyse your tests. In fact start with one to guage yourself.

Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert.

Get the flash cards from this site at https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/free-gma ... flashcards. that is also very good. Join this study plan https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide , BTG team will send you a mail daily supporting your learning process.

Regarding books, apart from what you have, get MGMAT Guides for SC, CR. They are very good. I am presently using OG12, MGMAT guides for SC, CR and Kaplan premier 2010-2011 and they are very helpful. I needed a little refresher for quants so purchased a KAPLAN GMAT MATH foundations but the book seems to be very close to KAPLAN premier and OG12 guide.

"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."
