Hey are good books, but dont really have a great explinations for problems. They just provide the ansewer with minimal verbal explination. If you are decent at quant, it will be a great refresher for you. But i am not, so i have to keep doing them over and over. I bet they would have been great in the actual class, which i did not attend.

I will leave the question of how good they are (since I work for the company), but we do cover probability, combinatorics, and all of the actual math rules, formulas, etc, that will show up on the test.

I just bought the ARCO's math review which has very good step by step explinations for math problems. I am using it to augment the MGMAT books for basics i just dont understand.

ARCO's book is really good for basics. Do you think for those of us who are not taking the MGMAT course it is better if we buys their Quant materials to gain more practice for those 600-700 level ques.?

I am no expert, but a friend of mine at work actually turned me on to the MGMAT books. He jumped from a 610 to 680 by using their books. I thought i could achieve the same results, but i am absolutely horrilbe at math so i bought the ARCOs book to help.

"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."
