BOOKS REQUIRED FOR THE PREPARATION OF MBA

ADMISSION TEST
MATH:
1.(for algebra only) Manhattan GRE/Nova's GRE math bible(either one. to
me, Manhattan is better).
2. (for arithmetic: only) Saifur's math.
3.Geometry (only examples) saifur's geometry.
4.arifur rahman's shortcut math for MBA (this is very effective.but you need not to memorize all
the formulas. you have to select maths that are important for you in theexam.if you want to
memorize all then you will forget before exam)
5.previous 10/20 years math question
ANALYTICAL:
1.saifur's puzzle
2.saifur'scritical reasoning
3.official GMAT(only data sufficiency& if possible-critical reasoning)
4.GRE big book(for puzzle)
ENGLISH:
1.for grammatical rules: cliff's TOEFL
2.common mistakes in English(if you are good in english then it's not needed)
3.saifur's Grammar(there are several questions here.practice from this.this is very effective)
4.analogy::saifur's analogy
5.previous year question (solve
English part of previous year question as if you were in the exam hall
& judge whether you are prepared for the test)

6. VOCABULARY::(MOST IMPORTANT) BARRON'S 3500(all of the words are

not needed.you have to select which are important )
or some people follow WORDSMART instead of barron

N.B: Students are advised to go through SAT I and Mentors' Lecture Sheet.

Written: Cambridge IELTS books or any types of IELTS book

Math Formulas
Algebra Formulas

Exponential Equations
xn*xm = x*n + m

x-n = 1/(xn)

(xn)/(xm) = x* n - m

1n = 1

(x/y)n = (xn)/(yn)

x0 = 1

xn*yn = (xy)n

0n = 0, except 00 = 1 or undefined

(xy)z = xyz

FV = CV(1 + g)T

Other
Distance = Rate*Time
Wage = Rate*Time

Arithmetic Formulas
Fractions
(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b) * (d/c)

Percents
Percent Change, as a decimal = (New - Old)/Old
N = (1 + G)O; N = New Value, 0 = Old Value, G = Growth Rate as decimal

Geometry Formulas
Angles

Sum of Interior Angles of Polygon = (n-2)(180)

n = number of sides of a polygon
Central Angle = 2(Inscribed Angle)

Area
Square: A = a2
Rectangle: A = lw
Parallelogram: A = bh
Trapezoid: A = .5(a+c)h, where a and c are the lengths of the parallel sides

Circles
= pi = 3.1415

Central Angle = 2(Inscribed Angle)

Area: A = r2

Area of Sector = (x/360)r2

Circumference: C = 2r

Perimeter
Square: P = 4l
Rectangle: P = 2w + 2l
Parallelogram: P = 2b + 2a, where a and b are the lengths of the non-parallel sides
Circle: P = 2r

Triangles
Area: A = .5bh
Pythagorean Theorem: A2 + B2 = C2 where A = one leg, B = the other leg, C = hypotenuse

Volume
Cube: V = a3 where a is the length of a side
Rectangular Solid: V = hwl
Cylinder: V = r2h
