I'm sorry if this has been discussed - I'm new here - but I'd like to hear about people's experiences with this book. I just picked it up and it's my first introduction to the GMAT. It's seems rather easy... is this representative of the actual GMAT difficulty?

It's this book.

https://www.amazon.com/McGraw-Hills-GMAT ... 0071493409

I got it from my local library but I also saw it at several bookstores so I'm surprised that you've never heard of it. It appears that the two reviewers on Amazon are unhappy with it.

Thanks for that link. I've browsed through it several times already and I'm trying to get a few more books to add to what I have.

I have:
Princton Review
Kaplan 800

I plan to get:
OG11
OG Quant and Verbal

Any thing else I should consider? I am looking for about 4 sources.

"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."
