Customer Reviews

I got 720 in 3 weeks!

No kidding! I just graduated from NYU Stern. I used this book for my GMAT prep, took the test 3 weeks later and scored 720. Highly recommend!

The sanest one on the market

I read through this book at a Barnes and Noble store, and after having used both Princeton and Kaplan, found this to be the best book out there. Most ppl. forget that the GMAT is a simple test, not too complicated and the key is to think clearly and to not get hurried. This book seems to take that approach. Both Kaplan and Princeton, I think complicate the matter a bit too much. That said, I actually went through all three books. I would recommend this as a good starting book.

My favorite book

Nice book. I'm studying for the Gmat right now. I'm using Princeton, Kaplan and Petersons. I think the last one is the best. It gives a lot of useful tactics and a lot of exercises in all the sections. Princeton gives also a lot of tactics but it lacks of exercises. If you have to buy your first book to prepare the Gmat, buy Petersons.

Excellent book

The book is amazing and has some very useful tipe for the GMAT. The number of exercises is enough to give you the practice to crack the GMAT. A must buy.

Probably the most practical book on the GMAT

This is easily one of the bset books on the GMAt that you can buy. It has an enormous number of excercises that you can do to improve your skills, in addition to very practical and valuable tips on how to approach the test. Most other books I have bought somehow only offer advice (dubious, at best) on how to approach the GMAT and always skip out on the number of practise excercises they offer. I have the Princeton review book, 'Cracking the GMAT', as well as some of the other off-the-shelf books, that I now intend to return to the bookstore.
