GMAT Books and Study Guides for your GMAT Preparation
Manhattan Review's Turbocharge Your GMAT series reaches its eighth edition — seven guides, fully revised for the current exam. The quantitative books now follow the syllabus exactly (arithmetic and algebra, with the retired geometry removed), Data Sufficiency is once again a guide of its own, and the Quantitative Question Bank is free to download. What ties the series together is its explanations: every question carries a full worked solution, and for each wrong answer the specific mistake that leads there is named — so you learn which error you made, not just that you made one. All titles are available on Amazon; click a cover to open its page.
GMAT Math Essentials
The foundations volume. It teaches the arithmetic and elementary algebra the GMAT assumes you already have — number properties, fractions, percents and ratios, exponents and roots, equations, inequalities and functions — including how to do the work by hand, without a calculator. Start here if your fundamentals need shoring up before you turn to exam technique.
GMAT Quantitative Reasoning
Takes that same math and turns it to face the exam. This is the problem-solving and strategy guide: how to read a question stem for what it is really asking, recognize the traps a test writer sets, and choose an efficient route under time pressure. The natural next step after Math Essentials.
GMAT Reading Comprehension
A method for the exam's densest passages: read for structure rather than detail, keep the author's argument in view, and answer main-idea, inference, and detail questions without getting lost in the text. Built around full passages with worked answers.
GMAT Critical Reasoning
Argument analysis, taught from the ground up. It shows you how to find the assumption an argument rests on and then strengthen, weaken, or evaluate it — the reasoning the Verbal section leans on most — with every answer choice explained.
GMAT Data Insights
The guide to the section that defines the current exam: Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis. It trains you to pull the right figure from a table, chart, or dashboard and reason across sources — the data-handling the modern GMAT rewards.
GMAT Data Sufficiency
Once again a guide of its own, not just a chapter. Data Sufficiency has its own logic — you are judging whether the information is enough, not computing an answer — and this book trains that habit directly, with the common traps named and worked through.
GMAT Quantitative Question Bank
Free to download. Three hundred Problem Solving questions in three graded bands, from warm-up to hardest, each with a full worked solution and the specific mistake behind every wrong choice. The place to practice once the concepts are in place.
