Greetings,
Background: Non-native english speaker, spent about 5 years in the states, passed the CPA about a year ago, working in a big 4 accounting firm.
I took about 5-6 weeks off work to completely devote to GMAT. As such my plan is to go through 3 official guides (quant, verbal and full) and Princeton's "Cracking the GMAT".
I feel like in addition to doing the practice tests/questions/cracking_the_gmat I will need to dig in deeper into theory (especially in verbal). As such I am considering wether to study:
1) The 8 Manhattan guides
2) Kaplan Premier
3) Kaplan 800
4) The 3 Manhattan Verbal Guides
5) Any combination of the above
From my research it appears that Manhattan gives you stronger background in theory. However it might take me most of the time to go through all the manhattan books, wich will not leave me enough time to do all the practice questions/tests.
As such my question IS: is 5-6 weeks enough time to go through "Cracking the GMAT" and the Manhattan books + do all the questions from the official guides (all 3 of them)?
