Hi Loki.Gmat,

Are you asking about our classroom offerings? Our live-online courses? Or our on-the-shelf materials sold at bookstores? They all have different materials included with them.

Hi Eli,

A few questions for you:

What score are you starting from? What is your goal?
Are your Math and Verbal sections at the same level, or is one higher than the other?
What books and resources have you already used to study?

The Kaplan Premier book is a great place to start. It will lay the foundation of strategy that you need, and give you plenty of problems with which to practice and evaluate your progress. The Advanced book is a natural progression. You probably also want to pick up the Official Guide, as an excellent source of practice material. Just remember that the methods and explanations in the OG are not always the most efficient ways to get the solution; at Kaplan, we understand tactics and strategies that can cut out a lot of unnecessary work.
