 Lots of practice, no explanations. July 5, 2006
7 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is supposed to be the response from ETS to the kaplan method. It is interesting because it brings a shaddy comparison of miths and facts about the GMAT but it does not tell you how your answers affect your score, it seems to keep things secret.
But the real 800 questions are very helpful for the good amount of practice you're gonna get, just don't expect good explanations on the correct answers or how to solve the most difficult problems, and also use a dictionary to undestand their english, it is too academic for some.
Sign up for a real course if you are Quant-challenged... February 6, 2008

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!!!
 Truly a Must Have January 11, 2007

This book has 800 real GMAT test questions and detailed answers. No other book has the real questions and there truly is a difference. I studied the Kaplan Book, Kaplan 800, Kaplan flashcards, and Princeton Review...knew all the subjects well --- but when I took the test the questions were slightly different from what I had been studying and it shook me. I received a 650 on my first test and now I'm studying again...using this book.
This book is a wolrd of difference and going through all 800 GMAT problems has helped my confidence and skill level immensley.

Real questions...really helpful January 11, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is great. I took the GMAT once before and used other study materials. But the Official Review has hundred's of real questions that give you endless practice. And the answer expalnation are very thorough.
If you are going to purchase any book to help you study, this should be the one.
