GMAT Strategy

I know there is a lot of information on here about what books to purchase, but I want to get YOUR personal opinions.

I am looking for books that explain the different types of questions / problems that will be presented on the test. Thus far it seems that the books I've picked up only have questions and answers (and a small explanation). However, it doesn't give me anything to look for / any strategies for solving the problems.

For example: a lot of the math problems look familiar, however, I cannot remember ANY of the rules that I learned in my math courses!

What books are best for explaining and finding strategies for answering the questions?

Thanks so much for your help.

This is what i would do

math--> manhattan guides
verbal --> SC manhattan
CR - powerscore
RC - Manhattan
OG 12 and 13
Verbal and quant review
Kaplan 800
maths - Advanced maths Manhattan

Thanks for the reply agarwalvda.

Anybody else want to voice their opinions? I'm looking for books to refresh my memory in both quant and verbal!



Thanks again!
