Question books

[simvano]

Hello,

I'm new here and I'm looking for the best way to study for the GMAT.

I'm considering buying the Manhattan set of 8 strategy guides (4th edition) together with the Integrated Reasoning book (5th edition). I'm wondering whether this will be sufficient in order to get a good score. Or should I also buy the official guides?

Given the cost of the books, I want to make an efficient choice.
Hope you can help...

FYI - all of our books have 5th edition versions now. Since you don't have any of them yet, I would recommend buying the new versions of everything.

It is also important to get the Official Guide books, yes - these are the best study questions available. I know all of the books together are expensive, but the cost is very small compared to the cost of graduate school. :)
