Hi Everyone,

Totally new to the GMAT. I have read few of the messages in this forum to get some help, but still a bit confused. For starters, I really don't want to spend the money on these prep courses, unless I need to. I want to self-study and see how that goes first.

Can you help me with what books I should start off with? Really appreciate it guys. Thanks.

Amit.

The effort required for prep depends on your abilities as of today. You could take a practice test, preferably GMAT prep.(free download from mba.com) and identify your strength and weaknesses.

Official Guide is considered a must for prep. You could start from there and decide whether you need any prep courses.

"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."
