Hey guys, Look I took my first MGMAT CAT before I started studying, or even before I was familiar with the test, and got a 460. (I took the GMATPrep 1 too and got a 530).

Thanks! I read it but I'm still hesitant. The first fair is this Thursday and I'm still unsure whether to go or not. NYU, Dartmouth and Yale are attending and these are 3 of my target schools.

Guys quick question, which of the books that I listed above deals with the topic of data sufficiency?
I was in Amazon and there's this book "veritas prep data sufficiency" and now I'm not sure if I should get this one too.
