which is the best book for preparation for GMAT

There are three books that are a “Must-Buy”: 1. The Official Guide for GMAT Review (Latest Edition) 2. Kaplan GMAT Premier (Latest Edition) 3. GMAT Sentence Correction Strategy Guide (By Manhattan GMAT) Out of the above, the OG or Official Guide is more like a Bible for GMAT preparation. It is extremely necessary to glance the entire book before you move on to any other book. Once you have skimmed through this book start solving the questions in detail. The Kaplan GMAT Premier will help you understand questions better and will also explain concepts in a better way. Each section is explained very well and serves as a very good guide for starters. The Sentence Correction part isn’t actually up to the mark in the above two books. This is where the GMAT Sentence Correction Strategy Guide by Manhattan will help you a lot. This is one book that will help you improve your Sentence Correction skills to a great extent. The above three books should ideally be sufficient for you to take the test and do well. If you think you need to work on the Verbal or Quant separately, then you can consider buying a dedicated book for the same. Kaplan and Official Guide for GMAT have separate books for the Verbal and Quantitative sections and you can choose whichever you are more comfortable with. In case you are one of those who are already well versed with the basics and want to take a shot at scoring a 800 on the GMAT, I’d recommend you to get the Kaplan GMAT 800. It is a must have book for advanced studies and for advanced learners.
