I currently have bothe the ManhattanPrep strategy guides (6th edition) and Kaplan Premiere 2016 edition) and was wondering if these would suffice for the 60-day study plan? I would rather not buy more books.

My goal is a 740 on the GMAT which I am taking in November. took two practice tests already about 6 weeks apart and improved 530 to 590. But since I want to get at least above 700, I am trying to find the best way to do so in the next 3+ months.

If the 60-day study plan won't work with the most recent books which I have, any suggestions for a score increase of 150 points in 3 months would be very appreciated.

The 60-Day Guide doesn't reference the latest MGMAT books (yet). In the meantime, however, many students have found it relatively easy to locate the relevant/corresponding chapters in the 6th edition.

To answer your other question, the 60-Day guide covers everything you need to score 750+ on the GMAT

Cheers,
Brent

Brent, how do I go about obtaining the stein if emails? I signed up when I first posted this, probably over a week ago, and have still received nothing; I only ask because as days go on, I get closer and closer to the timeframe that I will not have the time to finish the 60-day study-plan.

It certainly sounds like your spam filter is catching/deleting the emails.
Have you received your first email yet? Did you configure your email program to accept email from [email protected]?

If you've done this, and still haven't received any emails, you might want to contact Sorin (https://www.beatthegmat.com/member/2/profile)
He's in charge of the Study Guide email program.

Cheers,

Hi Brent, I am wondering if you have a similar break up of questions topic wise for the latest OG 17 and Verbal / Quants review.

There's an Improvement Chart for the OG2017 here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-error-log

However, I haven't created anything for the Verbal-only and Quant-only books.

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
