Hi Friends, I got the McGraw Hill and Barron's GMAT books from the library? I was wondering, how are these books and whether its worth to invest time into it. For quant, I tend to do lot of silly mistakes, hence I am planning to practice from these books just for the sake of it but I am currently very bad at verbal I am not sure if these are going to help me???

Any comments of reviews on this book?? Thanks is advance.

I have not seen any reviews on McGraw or Barron's. All of the reviews I've seen are in reference to Manhattan GMAT, Kaplan and Princeton Review, and ofcourse the Original Guide for the GMAT.

Manhattan has 5 math books that are each about 30 pages and several verbal books. I have 3 of the math books and the sentence correction book - all very good.

For Critical Reasoning (verbal) I bought Powerscore's Critical Reasoning Bible - it was recommended by a few people. It's about 200 pages but very detailed material.

Good luck!

"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."
