Recommended Book for Quant Strategy

by dheaven1 » Fri Mar 26, 2010 2:06 pm
I have been studying my Quant for over a month and a half and I'm still having a hard time recognizing question types and formulating the best way to solve them immediately. I would like to find a book that provides more "strategy" for solving different types of problems. I have the OG 12th edition and the answer explanations are terrible.

I've been thinking about buying the GMATFix OG Math Companion but their website isn't exactly professional looking and I'm a bit weary of purchasing from them. Plus no one really talks about that book and from what I understand you can only access it online if you want to use it on a computer.

So my questions are:
1. What books would you recommend that do a good job of explaining Quant and giving shortcuts/strategy for solving questions?
2. What is the general consensus on the GMATFix.com book? Is it worth the purchase?

Thank you for your time!

Dave

Ill give you the same advice everyone is giving to eachother: get MGMAT. I only had PR book before that, and I guess for very basic stuff it is good. However, MGMAT explains even the basic stuff better, and then they have advanced sections that really hones your skills. Thats the only set of books worth buying, maybe Power Score as well for verbal section, but I didnt get that yet.

On a separate note, I didnt want to start a whole new thread just for that, but anyone knows what time afternoon GMAT is administered? Morning one is at 9am right?
