GRE prep - using manhattan only

[acuriouseconomist]

Hi I dont have much time.to prep - maybe around a month. My strategy was to do every problem on the Manhattan prep 5000 qs book to up my quant score. Any advice on this is much appreciated as I would need a near perfect quant score.

I assume you are talking about the 5lb. Book of Manhattan. I used this book to push my score too. However, I feel that this book alone would not be sufficient because they divide Quant into many chapters, each of which contains alot of questions ranging from easy to hard ones. But in the real test, you would be facing with 20 random questions of unknown difficulty (be it easy or hard) from different topics.

So what I did was: in addition to the 5lb. Manhattan, I practiced from the 'practice test' sections of barron (you can use any other books) and free ETS online prep tool to simulate real test experience

Don't rely on Manhattan online tests. I've a very bad experience with them. Can't say about the 5lbs book. Going through all of those questions will certainly help I guess.
