The utility of this book is up for debate I would say. I just took my GMAT today and while this book was ultimately helpful for some questions I found that I was not 'stumped' by the OG's answer explanations very often. I had to turn to this book probably 5-10 times because of questions whose answers just didn't make sense. If you are using Manhattan GMAT's full strategy guides, this book is helpful because it approaches the questions from the MGMAT perspective (i.e. sometimes the OG will answer questions in a different style from what MGMAT taught you -- it was helpful those few times to turn to this book and ask "how would you solve it MGMAT?"). A different perspective does not hurt!

This was the most useful product I used during my GMAT prep once I had gone through all of the MGMAT books. This book gets little mention on MBA sites but it is invaluable as it provides different ways to solve the OG than just the OG approach and you can figure out which method is more intuitive. I was able to hit well above that 700 mark thankfully and made it into a top 15 business school.

I had purchased the Manhattan program of books for the GMAT and then I decided to buy this book to help with the OG questions and I can tell you, this book is extremely useful. The OG is weak in it's explanations but this book makes up for all of it's shortcomings. If you are really trying to score well on the GMAT, this book is a must have.

Intuitive solutions, with alternative methods provided where needed. Each question is rated according to its difficulty level. Further access to online video explanations for many of the more difficult explanations is provided. I wish Manhattan had a companion for the official quantitative review guide as well.

This book is a must if you're doing practice questions from the Official Guide while simultaneously studying the Manhattan GMAT quantitative strategy guides. This book provides explanations to the OG problems using the Manhattan GMAT approach from the strategy guides. These explanations helped me understand some of the tougher problems way better than the god-awful explanations in the OG. Seriously, the explanations in the OG are nothing short of terrible and vague at best. This book will eliminate the need for you to frustrate yourself trying to understand the OG's explanations.
