mtepper,
The order of studying the Guides is something of a personal decision. The order in the ManhattanGMAT curriculum is:
1. Number Properties
2. Equations, Inequalities, and VICs
3. Word Translations
4. FDPs
5. Geometry
However, there are a lot of variables that go into curriculum ordering. You may want to reorder, based on your proficiency with certain topic areas.
In approximate level of difficulty, from easiest to hardest:
1. FDPs
2. Geometry
3. Equations, Inequalities, and VICs
4. Number Properties
5. Word Translations
From how often they're tested, from most common to least common (roughly):
1. Number Properties
2. Word Translations
3. Equations, Inequalities, and VICs
4. FDPs
5. Geometry
Hope that this is helpful! Let us know if there's anything else we can do. - Andrew
