Required reading

If you are serious about taking the Gmat and getting a good score, you absolutely must buy this book along with the other two official supplements. Between the three books, you will have access to over 1,000 problems that have been retired from the Gmat and are 100% representative of what you are going to see come test day. My scores: Powerprep 1 (Official software) - 700 - no studying Princeton 1 - 630 Kaplan 1 - 560 Kaplan 2 - 600 Kaplan 3 - 580 Powerprep 2 - 730 Actual Gmat - 750 I am 100% certain that using all three books is what raised my score those last 50 points. On test day I was the only one at the center and I got to know the receptionist pretty well. She told me that she sees hundreds of these scores a year and the ones who get 700+ all have one thing in common - they have all done every problem in all three books. My advice: spend the money on all three. Work every problem, noting which ones are hard and which you get wrong. When you are done, go back and work the hard/incorrect problems again. Then, when you are done, start over from page one. You effort will be rewarded on test day.

Great Prep Work

The Verbal GMAT Review is a great tool to use when you are brushing up on your grammer and reading comprehension skills. The book also has helpful hints when you are reading the passages. The questions go from easy to hard with explanations on grammer usage, dictation, and critical reasoning. The book covers reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and sentence correction. Great tool to have.

GMAT

Wonderful book to have to prepare you for GMAT. I received the book very quickly and it helped me raise my score by 200 pts.

More of what is in the General Review Guide - but useful

While I did not compare this with other guide books, like some reviewers have, I did use it to prepare for the GMAT. There are tons of questions, their answers and explanations for the answers. There is also a good section on how to approach the analytical writing section of the GMAT. If - again for some insane reason - I were to have to take the GMAT again, I would buy this book again. PS: I scored 90% on the verbal and 6 on the writing (hazaa!)

Excellent book

This is an excellent book with the real GMAT questions. It explains all the questions and answers and also explain why a particular answer is correct. Till now, this is the best GMAT practice book I've seen. Anyone preparing for GMAT needs to have this book
