Hi kishordul,

i just started my preperation 2 weeks ago. In my eyes, it is absolutely necesssary to buy OG 12th Edition!
The OG contains a Diagnostic Test which you can use to locate your weakest areas for the first time (e.g. I scored SC below average while CR was above average and all the rest only average).

Having a concrete result, you can start to work on your weakest area and to look for more concrete books.
Furthemore, have a look at ..Ressources/Getting started right here on beat the gmat.com. Not even the given articles but also the book presentations helped me a lot!

Hi, I too just started with GMAT!

I got:

1) Cracking the GMAT 2010 by Princeton Review (For quick brush-up of basics and new test taking strategies)
2) Manhattan GMAT prep books, 4th edition
3) OG 12th Edition.

I think those are enough material for practice.Also, you get:

1) 2 GMAC's GMAT Prep exams
2) free exams from Princeton and Manhattan after buying there books...it totals upto 6 (3 Princeton, Manhattan each)
