Hi can someone suggest and share some of the good books for application process and essays.
I heard about a Richard Montawk book " How to get into a top business school". Do any of you Gmatters have a take on this?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi

you must read the recent version of the Montauk's book, previous versions are outdated. Its not completely like reading a book on swimming to learn swimming.

I too liked "Your MBA Game Plan" but I also read many of the other books you've listed as well.

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

People are fan of Montauk's book but I really liked concise but holistic presentation of Banks book.

"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."
