Hello everyone ,

I am new to this forum, I have tried to search but could not find any detailed description for studying materials.

Well I am Starting preparing for GMAT now , I have 7 months till the exam.

I am quite strong in mathematics and planning to score there as high as possible , but I face some problems in verbal part as English is not my first language.

I have Barron's book and have ordered OG 12th edition.

What are other books that can help me with my preparation?

I am planning to score in mid 700's , and going to work hard.

Also I have downloaded from mba.com 2 tests , I would like to collect some other Tests which will show me an approximate score, and where i stand.

Looking forward to hear some good advices.

Thanks,
Giorgio

As far as the books go you can find reviews of the books here -> https://www.beatthegmat.com/books.html

Practice tests - The best ones are the GMATPrep which you've already downloaded. If you buy the Manhattan GMAT SC guide (which is highly recommended) you'll be able to register online and access 6 of their practice tests for free plus a question bank containing 25 questions on SC.

I made a list here for me:

I have Ordered OG 12th edition already

I'm going to add :

Kaplan GMAT Premier Program, 2009 (Book & CD-ROM)

Sentence Correction Gmat Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides)

Kaplan GMAT Advanced 2009-2010 Edition: Intensive Prep for Top Students.

But as I read reviews about Kaplan book, too many people argue that the book is full of errors and typos. Do you agree with this guys? cause i dont want to be mislead because of the stupid errors. does this book really worth buying?

Have you heard about EZ solutions? they have descent reviews on Amazon.

"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."
