Many people are increasingly turning on to higher education especially given the economic turmoil across the globe. This has encouraged a lot of coaching institutes to ride on the wave and fleece money from gullible people. At GMAT Wings, we realize the importance of your hard earned money and charge reasonable fees for various coaching and related services. Before this becomes an advertizing game, I would like to share with you how I managed to score 700+ on the GMAT with 3 months of preparation.

The following books are a Must Have in the arsenal
1. Official Guide for GMAT (Edition 10 or higher)
Whats Hot: Good mixture of questions for the Verbal and Data Sufficiency in Quantitative (Score Range of Questions: 550 to 680)
Whats Not: Very low difficulty level questions on Problem Solving (Score Range of Questions: 550 to 650)

2. Official Guide for GMAT - Verbal

Books That Burn Holes in Your Pocket
The Manhattan Series - There is no doubt that the series is good with lucid explanations and well structured study blocks, the books are prohibitively expensive and if it doesn't suit your budget, you are better off avoiding them.
