GMAT+ or PBT"S??

[tejal777]

ok so I have lots of stuff downloaded from the net obviously all are not to be folllowed.Among them i have this Gmat+ book and lots of paper based tests..different sets different years.Since obviously I'm not going to follow both,i wanted to do it so I can get a lttle practise the "fun" way(I am so tired of seeing the covers of Gmat books)and also it will be a great way to build up stamina.
The answers of gmat+ book are not said to be accurate.Obviously all the questions will be searched and posted here if trouble arises.
So the final ques.:Which do u think is a better bet??Gmat+ or PBT"S??

I've never heard of GMAT+, so I can't tell you whether it's a good source. If the "paper based test" source you're talking about is official paper-based tests, then those are better questions than non-official sources.

There are even better questions than the official paper-based test questions though - the official CAT-based questions. The most recent publications (Official Guide 12th edition and the Quantitative and Verbal Supplements) contain 1,500 questions between them. OG11 has an additional 300 questions (approx) that don't appear in OG12. There's also GMAT Focus, a quant-only online diagnostic test that again consists of more recently published official questions. Unless and until you've exhausted the most recent questions, I wouldn't go for questions that are 12+ years old (the last paper-based test was given in 1997).

And, really - nobody needs more than the most recent official questions - we're talking 2,000 questions among the above recent sources I listed. If you aren't studying the best 1,000 or 1,500 or 2,000 questions in the right way, then doing another 500 or 1,000 lower-quality questions isn't going to do much for you. This isn't about volume - it's about the highest-quality study you can do with a (reasonable-sized) pool of the best available practice questions. So keep that in mind as you decide what to use!

thanks Stacey!I am already using Og11 and the reviews..crazy as it may sound I am so bored of seeing the cover of those books that it actually repels me.I think its getting too monotonous everyday sitting with the damned yellow covered book.I desperatly need some change of material and thus thought of using something else so that i get a "break".Makes sense?

[StaceyKoprince]

It does make sense... but I would rather cut off the cover of the book or rip out some pages than use non-official or official-but-really-old material. :)
