Hello,

This is my first time posting here as I'm getting ready to take the GMAT again. First time around I scored a 610 and I'm trying to improve to the 680-690 range.

Anyways, my biggest areas of weakness are number properties and rate problems. Is anyone aware of study materials that might help me improve in these areas?

I noticed that Manhattan has a few math guides, one specifically devoted to number properties. Has anyone used the Manhattan math guides? Would they be a good investment for me?

Any help would be appreciated... thanks in advance!

Manhattan guides are good for learning the content; Official Guides and GMATFix Official Guide Companion are good for practicing and analyzing results

Thanks for all the help guys.

I've got about 7-8 weeks to go before I take the GMAT again.

I bought the Manhattan Guides on Number Properties and Word Problems. The great thing is that I get access to 6 of their practice tests. I plan to take 4 of the MGMAT CATs, the 2 PowerPrep CATs, and the 2 GMAC CATs. Between tests and Manhattan Guides I'm also working on OG 12 problems.

Good luck jgrontko; I hope you do really well.

Sounds like we have the same weaknesses. If you find great study material please come back and give an update and I will do the same.

"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."
