A must-have for GMAT preparation

This book is definitely necessary if you are planning on taking the GMAT, even if you are planning to join a test-prep course.

The book contains +800 retired questions, which are the best approximations of what you'll see on the actual test. The good side is that you'll be able to focus on the type of questions that you feel you need more pratice and you may practice a lot if you want. The weak side is that the answers for some verbal questions are not really convincing, it lacks test taking strategies (that's why many people go to Kaplan or any other test-prep courses) and in my opinion it should provide a separate section for hard, challenging questions (which are scarce in the book).

Overall, this book should be the cornerstone of your preparation and should be used as a complement if you will be taknig a test-prep course.

GMAT REview

As a professional librarian, one geared to meeting the reading, research, educational goals of many people - faculty and students, I base my assessment on a book on many things, including: clarity, conciseness, utility, and the audience. I found this book to be usefulful in preparing one for the GMAT. Althought it is not suitable for everyone taking the GMAT - as everyone is not on the same educational level, it does relate to the test at hand, it will help you increase your skill level - if you use it, and it will teach information regarding the test to help you score better. This is an excellent resource for the serious student.

Good supplemental review book

I purchased this book as my primary study book for the GMAT but I think it makes a better supplement to the Princeton Review or Barrons book since it has tons of problems but no actual tests. I didn't realize that until I bought it so be warned. If you are just looking to do question afer question to get practice, with none of the time contraints you face in the actual GMAT, this is the book for you. I found it useful overall, but not as useful as I thought I would. One last point, in terms of knowledge and improved learning, the quant explanations are very very useful, but the grammar and sentence correction ones didn't really help me improve my score.
