Well,

I personally found the princeton review useless! I payed <$1000 just to get a list of questions i should do for homework and learn basic techniques.

If you have already signed up for PR course, then I guess you have no choice. If you are deciding, I'd recommend that you buy Manhattan Gmat Books and do your prep on your own.

On the other hand, this website is not a course but a forum site. You learn/share/teach. If you dont know anything about the GMAT, then maybe it is best for you to take the course and also use this website to aid your studying.

i hope this helps!

I completely agree. If you have alreadu signed up for the course, then nothin can be done. Just use the Manhattan GMAT books along with your PR course. I have not use the Quant guides of Manhattan GMAT; but I recently purchased the latest edition of Manhattan GMAT SC and CR. I finished the SC book, gave a prep test and increased my Verbal scores :-D . Just spend a few days to go through both the SC and CR guides of MGMAT. they do not have much practise questions so, you could move over to the OG for practise once you grasp the concepts.

And ,like it has been mentioned,this forum is not a course!! It will help you if you have any questions about GMAT / any specific problems,basically it is going to aid your GMAT prep.
All the best.
