Approach to studying with the Manhattan Prep guides

[vocho]

Hi I searched through this forum, but I couldn't find specific information about a study plan using the complete set of 8 Manhattan Prep GRE guides. It seems to be that it may not be wise to just work through them in order, so does anyone have advice on this? Should one go in order with the math guides while concurrently working through the verbal ones? Or is it best to jump around?

Hey Vocho,

There's no "right" answer, but if you were to take our classes, you would more or less go through the quant books in order, with the verbal stuff interspersed. The reason there's no "right" order is because the books are all separate/self-contained, so there's no inherent reason to do one book before another. That said, I'd always start with FDPs and Algebra, because some Word Problem and Geometry questions require understanding of FDPs and Algebra. I'd also do the QC part of the QC/DI book sooner rather than later, so you can practice that stuff from the beginning.

Good luck!

Thanks for your quick response Tommy, that explains why I hit a wall with geometry and had no idea what those quantity questions meant... it's been a while.

Exactly! The QC book is a helpful starting place for that reason. Good luck with your studying!
