Our Curriculum >> Supplemental Materials

Description Manhattan GMAT also offers supplemental materials to aid in your GMAT studies. The Foundations of GMAT Math Strategy Supplement is an invaluable resource for any student who hasn’t seen fractions, geometry, algebra, or other fundamental math topics in a long time. The Official Guide Companion thoroughly explains every Quant problem in the Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition; it is an essential tool for test-takers of all ability levels. The Test Simulation Booklet takes the surprise out of the scratch paper and marker you will be given on test day (no paper and pens are allowed in the testing center). Additionally, we highly encourage our students to use stopwatches to practice timing, an essential skill for scoring well on the exam.

Foundations of GMAT Math Strategy Supplement: This 326 page book, containing 9 chapters and access to over 600 practice problems, provides a refresher of the basic GMAT math skills necessary to score well on the exam. It is meant to serve as a useful reference alongside our other curricular materials. If you’re confident in your math mechanics, you may not need it. But if you are having trouble with some of the fundamentals, this book will come in handy.

The Official Guide Companion: This book is meant to be used in conjunction with the Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition, which should play a central role in your preparation for the exam. One common issue our students cite about the 12th Edition is that the explanations are not always as helpful as they could be. The Official Guide Companion addresses that need by providing clear, step-by-step approaches to every Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency question in the 12th Edition – that’s over 450 explanations.

Test Simulation Booklet: Consists of five laminated double-sided pages and is virtually identical to the booklet used for the real GMAT. A non-permanent marker of the same type used for the GMAT is included with your purchase.

Stopwatch: Keeping pace on the GMAT is essential to doing well. Using a stopwatch while studying for the exam will instill good pacing habits, resulting in a more heightened sense of when you need to move on to the next question.
