I actually wouldn't recommend any of those books! Check our our book recos here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/books

I did the three practice exams from the Barrons book and they were terrible. Quite a bit of time was wasted by myself and a few fellow posters over poorly constructed questions. I haven't even mentioned some of the poor explanations of answers that were given.

Totally agree with BarryLi that Barrons is not worth the money.

Thanks a lot!

My GMAT is 20 days away and since I have a hectic job, I don't get enough time to study. I have completed OG and now I am focussed only on Tests.

Below is my performance till date :


GMATPrep 700
GMATPrep 700
KAPLAN 550 670 570
Manhattan 640
ARCO 680 680
Princeton 710
Veritas 610
Barrons 690

Do you think I am ready for 700+. Will 6 more Tests from MGMAT help me? Also, where can I get a scoring for AWA as I am not confident on my essays (I took a princeton paid AWA essay scoring option and was shocked to see a rating of 3.5)

Thanks

Given your practice tests, it seems like you are in range to get a 700. Taking some more practice tests will be useful, but 6 sounds like a lot between now and your test date.

Have you seen this one month GMAT study plan? It could be a useful reference for you.

Here are some AWA resources. Good luck!
