Do you want one book for all exams? Each of these exams are unique and need different preparation for IELTS prefer Cambridge prescribed book or visit Brirish Council Library. For CAT RS Agarwal, Nishit Sinha Sarvesh Varma, Gautam Puri are few recommended books also try tcyonline and other portal. Manhattan, Kaplan, Argo are few of the recommendation for GRE for other competitive there is a lot of definition of other and there are 100+ competitive exam. Be specific with what you want in life and keep.

Hi Viren Singh,
You don't have to take GRE and SAT at the same time because SAT is for UG course and GRE is for PG programs, these tests are mainly for USA. So, first you decide what to study and then appear for the exam.

Hi,
The basic principles you should keep in mind before preparing for GMAT/GRE are:
1. You must create a realistic schedule of daily study. You should at least study for 20-30 minutes every day.
2. Use only official study material and only refer official books published for any of these exams.
3. Learn and practice the problems first only then go to the practice tests, don't directly jump to practice tests.
4. Find someone who is also preparing or have appeared for the same exam as you can take necessary tips from him and review the questions you get wrong.
5. Focus more on vocabulary than passages.
Consistency and a well-planned preparation
