GMAT Study-Books Opinions?

[flippin15]

I know there is a lot of information on here about what books to purchase, but I want to get YOUR personal opinions.

I am looking for books that explain the different types of questions / problems that will be presented on the test. Thus far it seems that the books I've picked up only have questions and answers (and a small explanation). However, it doesn't give me anything to look for / any strategies for solving the problems.

For example: a lot of the math problems look familiar, however, I cannot remember ANY of the rules that I learned in my math courses!

What books are best for explaining and finding strategies for answering the questions?

Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for the reply agarwalvda.

Anybody else want to voice their opinions? I'm looking for books to refresh my memory in both quant and verbal!



Thanks again!
