I second Osirus on this, MGMAT is a really good source when it comes to GMAT Math

I do agree with ajith and osirus.
Most of the time I have seen that people get their solutions wrong just because they were unable to frame the equations properly.
So,like even if your concepts are correct ,your score can go down due to wrong interpretation.
"Word Translations" helps you to identify those mistakes.
In this forum also,I have seen many-a-time people getting confused with the wording of the problem and calculating the wrong problem.Also,GMAT takes this as a trap and you will also find the alternative answer choice among the 5 options leading you to pick the wrong option.

Also,I liked the "Geometry" guide by MGMAT.

It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button

Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

"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."
