Hello!

I was just wondering has anyone tried any of the following....

5 GMAT CAT Practice Tests
400-page online Math & Verbal Prep Guide

OR

OR

fROM .totalgmatmath.com "TOTAL GMAT MATH" & "TOTAL GMAT VERBAL" guides



I am looking for good resources for both verbal and quant and if anyone knows any other please let me know.
I'm aiming for 650+. Currently I'm at 550 and have about two months to prepare.

So far I've used the below:

OG GUIDE 10TH & 12TH ED

OG COMPANION 12TH ED (GMATFIX.COM)

MANHATTAN SC GUIDE

REALLY need to get my score up by 100 points at least..... so i need resources that are both challenging but also give really good explainations.


Thanks in advance to anyone that replies! :)

From what I have read here, neither 800Score nor CrackGmat are all that great. I may resort to the less-well reviewed tests if I run our of them, but there's no danger of that for me yet.

Verbal helps your score more, so if you're scoring below 40 on that section, I'd focus more on that. On the quant side, I think MGMAT's Number Properties book is absolutely great because of the numerous requirements for these types of calculations in the quant section. I'm going through the geometry book right now and don't find it quite as valuable (mostly because I'm pretty handy with geometry), but if you've forgotten the basic, it is probably very useful.
