Has anyone used this as a study guide successfully? I have the Official Guide which I plan on using as my main study guide along with the GMAT flash cards from this site and various practice tests. I thought it would be good to have another, more portable source for traveling (I travel for work) and this was the most downloaded on Amazon but had no reviews. Anyone have any thoughts?

Well, I like Kaplan materials, but I'm biased

I will say this, however--I recommend against using the Official Guide as your primary source. It's the best source for practice questions out there, but its strategies are simply not the best. I'd pick up a Kaplan source, or failing that something from one of our competitors, to make sure you really understand the ins and outs of the question types and they're respective strategies. Then, and only then, would I move on to the OG as a question pool.

I'd recommend kaplan 800 math .
Its a really nice book! the only way they keep hinting through out the book is to plug in #s.And the questions are also quite different .

Lately ive heard their kaplan gmat verbal book is good too. Cant comment much though.

Try kaplan premier programming and u'l get a clue about whether to continue reading it.

"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."
