So I just found this site and I've been skimming through it....I read on a lot of study suggestions. But I want to know if using the OG 11 alone will be helpful? I am so confused with all the reviews as to what books are the most useful, for both the verbal and the math. I am looking for books that will focus more on concept. Please help, I need to buy something fast and get started.

The OG is essential but not sufficient by itself. You do need to get a good review book to go over the fundamentals as well as test strategy. And of course you need to do practice tests. I used Cracking the GMAT and would definitely recommend it; the strategies were really helpful and the tests were accurate. You also need to download the official GMATPrep tests from mba.com. Those are a must!

Ditto the recommendation for the GMATPrep tests.

I haven't used the cracking the gmat book, but of what I have used: I found the GMAT Hacks Math Bible to be really useful. I also have Kaplan books that a friend gave to me, and I didn't think those were as helpful.

"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."
