Hi SophyLee,

It depends.

If your quantitative score and verbal score are similar, then you probably need 600-level scores in each section. In this case, you could probably skip the Advanced To Do's.

However, if your verbal score is considerably lower than your quantitative score, you may need an exceptionally high quantitative score to bring your total score up to the 600-level. In this case, you may want to tackle the Advanced To Do's.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent

Is there an online alternative to the books since I have purchased the videos already and wouldn't like to spend on the books unless absolute;y necessary. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The GMAT Prep Now videos cover all of the concepts that the GMAT tests. The MGMAT books also cover all of the required concepts, but they label some concepts as "advanced." These are often concepts that are rarely tested.
So, if you purchased the GMAT Prep Now videos, you're good.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
