Hi all,

I am studying with the Princeton Review GMAT book right now. What prep books should I study after this is done? Should I go to the OG 11 or any other books before I get to this book?

I think that you should go to the OG when you're done. Really, the only books you need to do well are a prep guide and the OGs. It's a good idea to do the prep guide first, since (as you'll see when you start working problems) the explanations in the OG are often terrible, especially for quant.

You might also want to pick up the OG quant and verbal supplements for additional practice. Anything more than this and you're probably sacrificing quality for quantity.

Jim, Thanks for the great advice. Is the Princeton Review GMAT good enough for a prep guide or should I purchase another prep guide such as Manhattan SC?

Since I work for a different prep company (Veritas), I'll reserve judgment on that question and let others chime in.

"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."
