I used Manhattan and I liked it. Use that to refresh your knowledge of the concepts then hit the example problems hard. Do them all multiple times then find books from other years and do all of those multiple times as well. If you still remember all the concepts, then just focus on example problems. I allocated 3hrs/day for 2 mos running through example problems and did well.

Following, anyone have thoughts on Veritas?

Target Test Prep

If you’re capable of handling self study don’t waste your time or money with Veritas or the other in person ones. Manhattan Prep is all you really need
