by bedazzled » Sun Jan 31, 2010 9:48 pm

OG is the bible! The OG contains all that you need to score a 600 on the GMAT. The Verbal Review contains supplemental verbal questions. This is ideal for those looking for additional GMAT like problems. However, the verbal review does contain some questions that already appear in the OG.

I've got both :)

Hi bedazzled,

Check out these 2 links. You may get some idea.

I would suggest you to get both the books. It's always better to stick to the official material when it comes to verbal.

One more thing, if you run out of original verbal material, you can always get past LSATs for Critical reasoning and Reading Comp.

I agree. :-)
Why take such a big risk for just one book ??
