This is such a great study tool. The questions and answers are GREAT! The answers walk you through each question in detail, as well. Purchase this book before you pay for the GMAT Prep Class!

She tells me this will help tremendously but results will not be known for several months when she actually takes the test.

"THE" book for GMAT

2008-04-28
No matter what you read or don't read, this book is a must for all those who prepare for GMAT. Though some of the explanations/concepts are not so well written, this book has the "REAL" content. Most of the questions listed in this book are supposedly taken from previous GMATS. And that explains why you see such a similarity between problems/questions in this book and the real GMAT ones.

Having said that, just this book alone will not be sufficient for most of the people as there is a very less emphasis on explaining the basic concepts. I recommend using Princeton and/or Manhattan series books as a supplement to brush up the fundamentals and then use this one for practicing GMAT-like questions.

Questions, Questions and more Questions

This book can't be beat if you're looking for a book that will give you an overall picture of the format of the GMAT. The book contains questions for all the math and verbal sections as well as providing essay examples.

Another benefit of this book is that the questions are real questions from past GMATs. I think this is especially helpful in the verbal section as it is difficult for other authors (Kaplan, Princeton Review) to create realistic verbal practice questions.

Use this book to get some great practice working a whole lot of real GMAT questions, but if you are looking for a book that helps you re-learn math concepts and has more of a textbook feel, look towards Kaplan.

essential!

Forget kaplan or courses on preparing for GMAT. This book is essential if one wants to score a hihj grade. The more you use it, the better. A final remark: On each chapter, the most diffcult questions are the last ones. That's where one should start.
