Manhattan and Manhattan? I am stumped!

by towerSpider » Wed Jan 05, 2011 1:23 pm
After reading loads of reviews in "I just beat The GMAT", I was introduced to some good books like Powerscore Bible for CR, Manhattan SC, OGs, etc.

I decided to start with SC, so I chose Manhattan SC.

BUT NOW I AM TOTALLY STUMPED because there are two such books:

1. MGMAT (Manhattan GMAT) Verbal Strategy Guide for SC

2. Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide

Which one is the one that people usually recommend and praise in BTG testimonials/discussions and even else where?

I hope it's MGMAT because I have already bought it and finished first five chapters.

Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide is the most popular one and as the subject mentions it is for SC only.

I guess the other one is for entire Verbal-SC,RC and CR. I have never heard about it before.

No, the other one is also for SC as the title says.

1. MGMAT (Manhattan GMAT) Verbal Strategy Guide for SC
is the actual hyped book which is supposedly the best and mentioned everywhere in the forum,
I guess MGMAT is owned by Kaplan(not sure)

2. Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide
this is an entirely different publisher,
Cheers !!
