Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and looks like this is the place to get advice/information for people who are trying to take GMAT.
I am looking for some some books so that I can start studying. I have around 4 months to take the exam. I got Barrons GMAT book last year, but I am not sure if it is the right book. I got it last year thinking I will start studying and take the test but I never opened the book. Was not motivated enough. But I think now is the time and I need to stop procrastinating and at least attempt the test.
So the bottom line is that I need some suggestions for books. What do you guys think about the Barrons book?
What are the other books that are suggested?

Thank you in advance.

This is the book that I presently have.

Sorry for the post in the wrong section but I saw someone else have posted a similar question in the same section but if it is in the wrong section, mods please move it to the right one.

Thank you.

@eternal_optimist - I take it back. I have read those posts in the Strategy section. I got a little confused because there is so much material on this site, its overwhelming.

Nikunj,

I have not heard of Barrons for GMAT. Your first book should help you get a hang of GMAT: by discussing various question types, sub-types, underlying concepts and helpful strategies and by offering sufficient practice problems. Kaplan Premier helped me in this regard. You too can try it.

You should also check out official review of various books in BTG. Its under the self study section.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

"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."
