Manhattan was the best for prep. OG for the tests.

Anthony Ritz from Veritas prep is an excellent instructor if you want to go down that route. I know it isn’t a book but Target Test Prep’s course will make you kill the quant section.

Manhattan prep for math hands down. I remember there is an lsat book that’s great for verbal reasoning.

like

Official guide only. Kaplan is too easy. Manhattan is too easy on verbal and unnecessarily hard on quant to the point where I found it counterproductive.

Many thanks for the pointers, folks!

My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower.

I want the MBA for networking/taking a break from work and I also want to switch into marketing ideally.
