Answering the question to the type of score you need and our target school will drastically impact the decision as the other posters have said.

You can get all the Manhattan Prep books, several practice tests, and the official guide from Manhattan for $300 ( LINK). I found it immensely helpful. I used that to study by myself, but got completely sidetracked for work the final 3 weeks leading up to my test. Still received a 690 with an 8/8 on the Integrated Reasoning and 5.5/6 on the Essay. If you're shooting for a 700+, I'd buy the Advanced Quant book. There are some arcane math rules/shortcuts they cover in that book for some of the most difficult problems that you'll only ever use for the GMAT.

The Mississippi public school system did me a great disservice when it came to the grammar section......

It's actually my wife who will be taking it. She graduated summa cum laude from UAB with a BFA in Graphic Design, and is wanting to get a Master's in Marketing (or Marketing Analytics?) from Alabama. I'll figure out what score she needs.
