I didn't take a prep class, it was all self-study, the trick that worked for me was to just put in the hours. I banked nearly 150 hours over the course of June and July, it was tough to do because I was also working and I very nearly burned out. I also read everything I could find on this forum. It was a good way to stay motivated, seeing what other people were doing, and struggling through the same thing.

For sentence correction, manhattan GMAT guide

For data sufficiency, just do a lot of them, you'll get better

For RC and CR, I'm a grad student so I had preparation reading complex passages

For problem solving, there are only so many types of these questions, learn them all and you're on your way.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
