Hi Guys,

This forum is really an amazing place to learn about GMAT.

Let me introduce myself.

This is Santhosh from India. Working as a software engineer in an MNC. I want a shift in my career so i am planning to do MBA overseas. I'm planning to take GMAT around June / July month. I am above average at quantitative & average in verbal. I am aiming for a 700+ score.

I have the following books
1. Princeton guide
2. Kaplan guide
3. Manhatten guide.
4. Manhattan verbal book.
5. Planning to buy official guide 12th edition once it gets released.

Can you guys help me in planning for my preparation? Which one to start first & how should i proceed.

Thanks a lot in advance

Cheers,
San

Regards,
Santhosh

Hey San,

Best of luck on your preparation. If you'd like help put out a detailed plan, please take a look at my debrief where I outline what worked for me vs what didn't work in detail: www.tinyurl.com/gmatpost

Do you have the GMATPrep software? that's a must have.

I'd definitely start with the Princeton guide since it seems to cover just overall basic theories of the GMAT. As far as the other books go, I honestly have not read them so I would not know. Just make sure you get OG11 or OG12 along with those books and practice practice practice.

"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."
