Hi,
I live in Hong Kong and I plan to write the GMAT exam on 20th Nov - I am staying-at-home currently, and can devote 4-5 hrs daily. I am looking to buy some recommended books from Amazon and get it bulk shipped to HK, as there is a huge mark up on those available locally - plus just a few names are usually in stock.
I Need some strong recommendations for the 'must haves'. I am an Engineer by academics and a Programmer/Analyst by profession(6 yrs of work ex), making quant my stronger area than verbal; though I am yet to give the first GMAT Prep exam - which would give a more accurate report of my strengths & weaknesses.
From what I have read, here is a list that I have tentatively compiled -
OG13
MGMAT NP, Geometry, Advanced, SC
Power Score CR
Veritas Probability, RC
Any extra to add/subtract from the above ? Please suggest some good ones particularly for Verbal/Probability/Permutation Combination/Statistics.
How about practice tests? any particular name that most closely replicates the real one? I intend to give one test every 7th day, so as to get a week each time for review/practice/improve.
Lastly, how to go about the AWA? Just by googling/reading articles/free resources, or I need to buy a book for that too? I do have the ARCO GMAT CAT answers to the real essay questions 3rd edition.
Since I am not working right now, I don't have the bandwidth to invest in every good book out there. I just want to make sure I have enough that just about covers all Q & V aspects with high quality content - concepts/tests/tips, and most closely replicates the real thing.
Thanks a lot in advance!
