Haven't used them myself but I have heard good things. I'll defer to the others for more useful comments.

It depends what your current score in Quant is? If your already scoring in the 40+ range then the guides may not be as useful.

My case was different. Out of school for sometime and rusty in many areas so I was looking for something comphrehensive.

What is your weakness in Quant? If you're weak in DS then definitely the guides will be useful.

I'm a total fan of MGMAT. I don't think there is any other series as comprehensive as MGMAT. I bought all the guides and am now taking their course. Totally awesome.

Hi Nislam,

I am worst in quant at this moment therefore my weakness is both PS and DS.
I started with MGMAT SC and was impressed with their contents.

However I didnt had any idea about MGMAT quant books, therefore thanks for your valuable comments.

Today I bought MGMAT Geom and Equations book only, was not able to find Number Properties in my city.

I will be happy if by studying MGMAT quant books for couple of months, my score goes above 35+. Then I will manage further to increase it above 45 by referring other books such as Kaplan 800.

One query did you studied PS from MGMAT quant book???

Thanks and regards.

You'll definitely benefit from MGMAT. Take it one step at a time. Focus on learning the content so for the initial time do PS only. Certainly do the In action problems as they are designed to increase your learning the basics. Also make sure when you do the OG problems do them in blocks and definitely timed. Keep a log. I developed a spreadsheet that I can forward if you wish. Send me a message.

Once you've mastered the content then move onto DS. I'd also stick to OG for the time being. I think it's sufficient if you're just starting.
