How are these books

by svishal1123 » Sat Apr 11, 2009 3:42 pm
Hi Friends, I got the McGraw Hill and Barron's GMAT books from the library? I was wondering, how are these books and whether its worth to invest time into it. For quant, I tend to do lot of silly mistakes, hence I am planning to practice from these books just for the sake of it but I am currently very bad at verbal I am not sure if these are going to help me???

Any comments of reviews on this book?? Thanks is advance.

I have not seen any reviews on McGraw or Barron's. All of the reviews I've seen are in reference to Manhattan GMAT, Kaplan and Princeton Review, and ofcourse the Original Guide for the GMAT.

Manhattan has 5 math books that are each about 30 pages and several verbal books. I have 3 of the math books and the sentence correction book - all very good.

For Critical Reasoning (verbal) I bought Powerscore's Critical Reasoning Bible - it was recommended by a few people. It's about 200 pages but very detailed material.

Good luck!
