Hi,

I have around 40 days left for GMAT exam and I am reading from these books

1: OG 10
2: OG 12
3: Manhattan SC
4: Princeton review 2009 edition

Do I need any other book. It may sound wierd but I don't have enough money to buy some other book and at the same time I am worried if these books are not sufficient. I have already spent so much money to get these books and register for exam which is beyond my limits.

Please suggest me if these books are not sufficient to touch 700. Your suggestion and help would be highly appreciated.

What score do you plan on getting? If you are a natural at math, you probably wouldnt need the entire Veritas or MGMAT series. Take a diagnostic test in the OG first to see where you stand.

If you do bad, I think you may have to get something other than the Princeton Review (I have the 2010 edition). There are too many guessing and plugging number techniques and I dislike doing those things. But thats just me... others have scored mid 600's using the PR.

Again, take the diagnostic test first.

Try used book stores. You might be able to get them cheaper. I am not sure if you need both OG10 and OG12. You could use those extra books to buy another book. Give me your email id, I might be able to send some pdfs that might be useful to you.

Good luck with your prep.
