I have ordered the OG11 also OG verbal and OG Quant as well as cracking the Gmat. I plan on getting Kaplan math review and manhattan SC. My question which i hope Eric the founder would have some input, is i know Manhattan offers several math review books like Geometry GMAT Preparation Guide, Equations, Inequalities & VIC's GMAT Preparation Guide, Number Properties GMAT Preparation Guide, Fractions, Decimals, and Percents GMAT Preparation Guide. I havent seen anyone recommend these also will i hurt my score if i didnt buy all of them, my target score is an 800 ofcourse, i will shoot for the stars and if i hit the clouds at 750 i will still be happy. But do u guys believe with the current material that i have and plan on getting will it be enough, is there any 1 book that reviews all these. Thanks for your replys.

Hi N800:

I think that OG11, OG verbal, OG Quant, Kaplan Math Review, and Manhattan SC is sufficient to do a great job of prepping for the GMAT. Start with these books--I wouldn't order too many at the beginning of your prep, since that's a lot of material to cover.

I have a review of the text books I've used on this post. Best of luck!

"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."
