Hello everybody, I hope all of you are studying hard for your first, second or even third GMAT exam (like me)
I need your advice on what materials to study for my last try. I have gone through all the MGMAT books, Kaplan 800, EZ solutions advanced Math book and the OGs 11 & 12. By now I feel like my basics are solid and I just need more practice for my test in December. The problem is that I'm running out of materials, are there other good materials out there that you could recommend? maybe something in the more advanced problems area would be helpful this time around.

Any books or software that you could recommend would be a great help, because I'm really clueless on what else to study and I don't want to go over the same books because I already remember the answers to most of the questions.

Thanks in advance to everybody!!

Try searching on the web for advanced problems. Here's a link that may help:

https://readyforgmat.com/math/documents/ ... rsion2.pdf

Also, this forum is full of questions that are of advanced difficulty - I would spend much time going through them...the explanations contributors to this site post are excellent as well.

Hope this helps.

In terms of your request for really hard problems, I have two suggestions:
1.) Manhattan's challenge problem

2.) Hard free GMAT questions. Go to the problem type and see the "hard" category.

"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."
