After reading loads of reviews in "I just beat The GMAT", I was introduced to some good books like Powerscore Bible for CR, Manhattan SC, OGs, etc.

I decided to start with SC, so I chose Manhattan SC.

BUT NOW I AM TOTALLY STUMPED because there are two such books:

1. MGMAT (Manhattan GMAT) Verbal Strategy Guide for SC

2. Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide

Which one is the one that people usually recommend and praise in BTG testimonials/discussions and even else where?

I hope it's MGMAT because I have already bought it and finished first five chapters.

Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide is the most popular one and as the subject mentions it is for SC only.

I guess the other one is for entire Verbal-SC,RC and CR. I have never heard about it before.

No, the other one is also for SC as the title says.

1. MGMAT (Manhattan GMAT) Verbal Strategy Guide for SC
is the actual hyped book which is supposedly the best and mentioned everywhere in the forum,
I guess MGMAT is owned by Kaplan(not sure)

2. Manhattan Review Sentence Correction Guide
this is an entirely different publisher,

Cheers !!

"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."
