I'm just getting started with my GMAT prep but I'm lost with the amount of information/materials available. Can someone let me know a good study material that touches upon the basics for both Quants and Verbal?

I have the Kaplan GMAT Premier 2012 edition along with the CD. Also my friend suggested that I could start with the Nova Quant Prep guide. Let me know if these 2 materials make a good starting point.

Cheers!

I would divide your work into two categories:

(1) GMAT-specific math
(2) remedial math needed to begin GMAT math

I'm biased by brand as you can see in my signature, but I will say this. I suggest that whatever brand of books you go with, stick with that brand entirely. Doing well on the GMAT requires a blend of both content expertise (e.g. formulas relating to triangles) and strategic expertise (e.g. when to redraw the given diagram). You ideally should be using a comprehensive set of materials that covers both issues. Don't try to mix and match or you will always be limited by own ability to integrate the advice (something that is slow and exhausting.)

Enjoy,

Thanks for your input! While I could stick to just one brand for basics, I guess when it comes to practice problems and trying out different difficulty levels, I'll have to consider working out problems from different sources. Just to taste different sets of questions and to make sure that I don't leave out those extra points on the table.
