Which GMAT practice book do you folks recommend? Thanks!?

Question

Kaplan, Princeton, Barron, someone else?

Answer 1

Personally, I prefer the Powerscore GMAT Bibles and the Manhattan GMAT guides. 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.

While you are at it, don't forget to download the GMAT Prep software. It's two real CAT tests, and its free from MBA.com. Taking one of those will give you a really good idea of where you stand score-wise. And also get all three GMAT Official Guides. There is the general one, and then 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.
