MGMAT

by skins81 » Tue Jun 01, 2010 7:23 am
Some questions I had:

1) Do you need to do the advanced sections of the MGMAT books to do well on the quant?
2) If you do all the MGMAT books and the OG 11 problems, is that sufficient to do well on the test and get a 700?
3) What other books do you guys recommend?
4) Is 8 weeks enough to study all this material and get a 700? I have an hour on weekdays and 6-8 hours on weekends.

Many people studied the same materials. Some people did well while others did not.

1. just go over it a few times, but the focus is the half of the book before the advanced

2. quality over quantity, you want to systematically go over the manhattan math books and the problems assigned from the 12th edition at the end of the book

3. 12 edition OG, and Manhattan Companion book that gives better and alternate explanations to answers than the OG

4 13 hours a week, depending on how much you can learn and your math skills, for myself personally I would push that back to 12-15 weeks

I have the OG11. Do I need the OG12 also or is OG11 sufficient?

The questions are similar in OG 11 and 12. You may want to use the OG version that is consistent with the MGMAT version you are using.

Just wanted to add - my number properties knowledge would be almost nil if I didn't have the MGMAT number properties study guide.
