Beside "The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition" which GMAT books are good? ?

Question

If you already took GMAT and got +700, please let me know what books did you use? Thanks!

Answer 1

Besides the general guide, get the the smaller ones for quant and verbal. They each have different questions, and you need to get as many different questions as possible. All the questions in each book come from actual, former tests.

Next, buy some study guides. I like the Manhattan GMAT books, but they are a bit short at times, and not necessarily written in the easiest way for self-study. Powerscore has books on sentence correction and critical reasoning that helped me. Here's how I'd break it down in terms of what to get:

Verbal CR and SC: The two Powerscore GMAT Bibles that cover these topics

Verbal RC and Math: Manhattan GMAT guides for these subjects

Try to study at least an hour or two a day and keep at it. It gets boring but the payoff for a good score is substantial.
