If you can afford it, buy a few of the major books – Princeton Review, Kaplan, etc. I found that when I looked at three of them, the areas on which they intersected were the important ones. Each had some nonsense in it that I didn’t need to know, but if something was mentioned in all of them, that was what I focused on.
As to the best business schools in the U. S. or California, both Business Week and U. S. News and World Report have ranked lists. Business Week’s just came out, listing the University of Chicago, then Harvard, then Northwestern at the top. Stanford is the best in California, followed by Berkeley and then UCLA.
I recommend this site, it has a lot free GMAT practice questions;

For GMAT studying, start by downloading the GMAT Prep software. It’s two real CAT tests, and its free from MBA. com. Taking one of those will give you a really good idea of where you stand score-wise.
Second, go get all three GMAT Official Guides. There is the general one, and then the smaller ones for quant and verbal. They each have different questions, and you need to get as many different questions as possible. All the questions in each book come from actual, former tests.
Last, buy some study guides. I like the Manhattan GMAT books, and the Powerscore books on sentence correction and critical reasoning helped me a lot. Here’s how I’d break it down in terms of what books to get:
Verbal CR and SC: The two Powerscore GMAT Bibles that cover these topics
Verbal RC and Math: Manhattan GMAT guides for these subjects
Try to study a few hours a day. It gets boring but the payoff for a good score is substantial.
As far as business schools in California, Stanford has the best school hands down. Next is Berkeley, then UCLA, then USC. See here for a list of the top 30 schools: http://www. businessweek. com/bschools/rankings/
