For math fundamentals, I recommend Kaplan's Power Math book.

For work on advanced questions, I recommend our GMAT 800 book (which covers both content and strategy).

If you need to work on a lot of fundamental drills, your best bet may be a grade 8-10 math textbook which you may be able to borrow from a friend/relative or your local reference library.

Hi

would you recommend to get the Manhattan Books for maths? Are those books strongly recommended as the Manhattan SC one?

My test is very soon...and I feel missing some geometry fundamentals.

Thx

I've heard good things about the MGMAT Math books, but I don't know whether they touch geometry well. For fundamentals, the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook is decent.

"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."
