I have been hunting for prep material for GMAT...and decided to stick with Official Guides.
But if we ssay OG, then options are as follows: (and I don't follow what not to get to avoid repetition):

#1 > Official guide for GMAT (11th edition) : easily available
#2 > Offcial Guide for GMAT (10th edition) : haven't located it yet !!

apart from these I see:
#3 > Quantitative Review: the official guide (no edition specified)

I haven't seen it, but supposing there is :
#4 > Verbal Review : the official guide (no edition specified).

My doubt is: if I have option #1 and #2...do I need to have #3 & #4 (and are questions going to be repetitive)

Also in what order shud i solving these...?

Please help me with sorting study material as its been eating alot of my time...thanks

I definitely encourage you to get the quant and verbal supplement guides, as well. They are completely different questions and great extra practice. Put that together with OG11, and you'll have over 1,500 problems to work on!

The order in which you do them doesn't really matter. Just remember that the problems go in approximate order of difficulty, so you may want to work on the earlier problems in each section first.

I've never seen OG10 - wait for someone else to chime in on that one. But yes, OG 11 and the verbal and quant guides are different questions.

"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."
