Good for review, not for teaching Book is helpful mainly as a long list of sample questions and answers. Doesn't provide much teaching of what you need to know in certain sections (eg the math section doesn't cover some of the more complex rules of geometry etc that you need to answer the questions). Advice on how to take the test is pretty basic too. I would say this is a good book if you are reasonably confident that you will do well and it really is just a review book to remind you of a few things you may have forgotten; the answers are clear and well written, and so are helpful for 'brushing up' on what you may have forgotten, although at least one is wrong (or not fully right), and there are quite a few typos, but if you know your stuff this won't really through you off (beyond the fear that there could be mistakes on the GMAT itself!)
Reliable seller Received my book on-time and in the condition (new) as I had expected! Thanks!!!
Sign up for a real course if you are Quant-challenged... I may not be a quant geek like a lot of people who apply for b-school, but I guess that's what makes me a more well-rounded candidate. I'm one whose verbal scores tested in 80th percentile while Quant was a dismal 45th percentile. I bought the GMAT review, and found the Math reviews a bit overwhelming, particularly since it's been >10 years since high school calculus for me. While questions are plentiful, I felt I needed add'l. help. I bought the Princeton Review Math Workout which dumbed concepts down a bit, but the questions were way toooo easy and you need to be prepared for the more difficult questions if you want to do well. So, I eventually invested in this MLIC course at [...] and though the online version was pricy, it was worth it (very intense, thorough Quant program). My Quant percentile nearly doubled the second time which was good enough for me. Also, don't let these books tell you that you've got to rush and guess at the remaining answers before you run out of time. You CAN leave the last 4-5 questions unanswered and STILL score above a 44 (or 72nd percentile), as long as you answer the first 10 questions especially well and remaining questions decently well. It's almost better to answer more of the challenging questions right, rather than guess and miss a bunch of moderately difficult questions. Test this yourself in the GMAT's simulated software if you don't believe me. Remember that the more challenging the question, the better you're doing!!!
