I used follwoing books for my Preparation:

1) KAPLAN 800: I bought this book in hope that this will help me to get high scores . But trust me, this is useless. KAPLAN's idea of a 800 question is a question which fills half of the page and is utterly beyond the scope of GMAT.

2) Princeton Review: After browsing through 2-3 guides(KAPLAN, Baron's, Manhattan) I finally settled on Princeton for a complete guide for reviewing quants, verbal and AWA. This is one of the best guidebooks available out there. Material is presented in very consistent manner with sole focus on GMAT Test. AWA templates were also very helpful. Verbal section is not very sufficient

3) Manhattan SC Guide: I used this book for SC and this was very helpful. It discussed all the intricacies and nuisances of Sentence Correction is should be self-sufficient for this section.


Apart from this for practice I took KAPLAN's and Princeton's Online Tests. I've discussed in detail regarding them in the post regarding Test Scores.

Wishing all the best for all the GMAT aspirants!!!
